About this bottle
Bowmore 30 years old depicts the Celtic legend of the sea dragon 'Kranna Dubh' who once inhabited the depths of Loch Indaal, the sea loch overlooked by Bowmore Distillery. Legend has it that Loch Indaal turned red with blood when a great Scottish warrior slayed the dragon with his magical sword.
To this day, it is said, that on certain evenings the Loch still turns red with the blood of 'Krannaj Dubh'. Whether this is the case or if it is simply the reflection of one Islay's magical sunsets, we will leave for you to decide...

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.
