About this bottle
This whisky has been personally selected by Mr Brian Morrison to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his Father's (Stanley P Morrison) old company. This whisky has been chosen for its maturity and sweetness. Unlike some younger ages of Bowmore where strong Islay characteristics abound, this 1968 Vintage holds one in suspense. The balanced peatiness for which Bowmore is renowned comes later - a subtle reminder of why Bowmore is considered one of the great Islay whiskies.

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.
