Bowmore X Snarkitecture - 20 Year Old - Oak Voyage 2026 is a single malt whisky from Bowmore (Islay). Aged 20 years, bottled at 50.8% ABV, 70cl. Bowmore distillery, the oldest producing distillery on the wonderful island o Islay. Found on the shore of Loch Indaal, is was established back in 1779. The distillery currently operated by Morrison Bowmore Distillers. This is part of a larger cog that is Beam Suntory. Other distilleries that come under the Suntory umbrella are the Auchentoshan and Glen Garioch distilleries. As mentioned the establishment of the distillery was in 1779 by John P. Simson. He sadly had to pass up ownership of the distillery and it was bought by a German family, the Mutter family. Mutter had some great idea during his tenure. The traditional nature of Bowmore is still found in their drams with as much local barley from the island being sourced as possible and their own floor maltings being used. Around 2 million litres are produced which is a real bonus for the locals because any surplus heat from from the process goes to heat the public swimming pool! The distillery is held in high regard for producing some of the worlds most expensive and collectable malts such as the Black Bowmore. Bowmore x Snarkitecture is a landmark collaboration, united by a shared instinct to reveal something unexpected within the familiar - two disciplines brought together by craftsmanship, creativity and the pursuit of discovery. The collaboration enters its next chapter with the Captivo Collection, introducing two 20-year-old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskies. This Oak Voyage edition 01 was released in 2026 after 20 years of maturation and finishing in Oloroso sherry-seasoned American Oak casks. Bottled at 50.8% ABV.
