Bowmore Dawn Bottled 2000s - Ruby Port Cask Finish 70cl / 51.5%

A limited edition bottle of Bowmore Dawn Islay single malt Scotch whisky. This was finished in ruby port casks and bottled at cask strength of 51.5% ABV. We estimate this was bottled in the early 2000s.

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.
