    'Epitome of Peaty Elegance' A rare and highly sought-after single cask release from the legendary Islay distillery, this Bowmore was released for the 2021 Islay Whisky Festival and showcases the perfect balance of classic maritime peat smoke and refined elegance. Distilled on 6 February 2004 and matured for 16 years in a second-fill ex-Bourbon barrel, this exceptional expression was bottled at 57.4% ABV. With an extremely limited outturn of just 192 bottles, Cask No. 3.317 represents a unique opportunity to own a special festival bottling from one of Islay’s most iconic distilleries. Expect layers of gentle peat smoke, coastal salinity, vanilla sweetness, and delicate oak influence, with the second-fill Bourbon cask allowing Bowmore’s elegant spirit character to shine through. A beautifully balanced Islay single malt, this exclusive 2021 Islay Whisky Festival release is a standout addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a distinctive expression of Bowmore’s renowned peated craftsmanship.

    Bowmore

    If we go by official dates, Bowmore is Islay’s oldest distillery in operation today, kicking off in 1779. Set in a spectacular location, along the coastline from the village of the same name. Bowmore had a mighty reputation founded on some classic whiskies from the 1960s. These have been released in a series of special editions and thankfully the current distillate is excellent. Somehow, Bowmore mixes the peat of Islay with a coastal vibe that is underpinned by a wonderful fruitiness. Shrouded in history, it also arguably has Scotland’s most famous and atmospheric warehouse in the Vault No.1. Stepping into this and walking through the maturing casks, while the ocean crashes against the outer wall, is well worth the price of admission.
