A bottle of Bowmore released in 1979 to celebrate the distillery's Bicentenary. This whisky is a vatting of 10 vintages between 1950 and 1966, and was matured mainly in sherry casks. It is packaged in a hand blown decanter with presentation box, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This is bottle number G 1529.
Bowmore started distilling in 1779, though there is no evidence of whisky production until John Simpson was granted a licence to distil in 1816. The distillery passed through several hands, and even supplied a cask to Windsor Castle, before it was purchased by perhaps its most famous owner, Stanley P Morrison, in 1963. Bowmore maintains its own floor maltings which supply 40% of its barley, and is known for its medium-peated character. The whisky is left to mature in the No.1 Vaults, which is said to inhabit a unique microclimate, perfect for long periods of maturation.
