The crafting of the
spirit
It was an unremarkable
clear and sunny morning on the 22nd of November 1955, when this spirit was
poured into its oak cask. The Gulf stream that warms the sea off Islay
took the edge off the brisk breeze that blew from the West over the
Atlantic swell. These same waters of Loch Indaal still pound the walls of
Bowmore Distillery on the Hebridean Island of Islay, and seep through to
the maturation vaults deep below, imparting the unique character to its
Malt Whisky.
For four decades this
remarkable whisky has lain in the
same silent dark vaults and for twenty
years the whisky breathed deep through its bourbon hogshead oak cask and
matured becoming rich in colour and warm and subtle in flavour. Then,
after transfer to a carefully selected sherry butt, it was once again laid
to rest in the same vaults for a further two decades under the care of the
men of Bowmore Distillery. Seven distillery managers carefully monitored
its maturation and followed its progress to its ultimate bottling at cask
strength.
This unique Bowmore, 40
Years Old, 1955 Vintage, Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a celebration
of the skills of the Master Craftsman. The whisky is finally presented in
a manner which reflects similar care and attention to detail and, once
again, continues to honour the art and the tradition of such skills.
This
hand crafted glass decanter has been individually blown, hand cut and
engraved by the artists of Caithness Glass, Scotland. Each decanter is
individually numbered and has
been created to reflect images of the
traditional Bowmore bottle. The individual oak presentation case has been
hand made by the Master Cabinet Makers of Charles Kirkby & Sons,
Sheffield, England. Their world renowned skills have ensured that this
extremely rare whisky has a final resting place worthy
of such a unique
pedigree.
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
Only 306 limited edition decanters were produced, 12 of these
were kept at the
distillery, and were used for tasting.
Tasting notes
Its
colour is bronze with warm gold highlights.
Its body is velvety soft and
smooth and amazingly
light for such a mature whisky. The nose is wave
after wave of soft fruit with lighter unhurried oak and peat notes
adding to the complexity. On the palate it is astonishingly fruity, due
to the double wood maturation. However its true Hebridean
characteristics become more evident towards the finish. A finish which
is delayed, initially very gentle and then it happensand all the warmth
of Islay comes alive.

1957 Distillation
38 Years Old
861 bottles released in 1996
It was on a mid-winter’s
day, 14 January 1957, when this bottle of Bowmore began its special
journey to maturation. New distilled spirit was poured into oak casks,
much the same as any other day at Bowmore Distillery. However, the spirit
within casks numbered 216-220 was to become special.
Bowmore’s Distillery
Manager nurtured and monitored this spirit through the years, as with all
casks of Bowmore, waiting for the day when he knew the whisky was at its
prime. Over time, the spirit rested quietly in the No.1 Vaults of Bowmore
Distillery, breathing in the fresh sea air and developing its unique
Bowmore personality.
Ten, twenty, thirty years
passed by and still the spirit in those five casks wished to slumber. Its
brothers had long since matured. The Distillery Manager knew that
something unique was developing in the casks and kept a careful vigil over
them. However, in its thirty eighth year, the spirit was found sitting
just above the critical 40% alcoholic volume strength for ScotchWhisky and
so he moved with haste to have the whisky bottled. If he had waited a
moment longer, the whisky would have become extinct, and a piece of
history wiped out forever.
The precious spirit was
soon bottled and placed in this handmade oak presentation case, carefully
crafted by the Master Cabinet Makers of Charles Kirkby & Sons, Sheffield,
England.
This unique autumnal
coloured Bowmore should be given time in the glass to open up, time for
the Bowmore character to release itself. To preserve every last drop of
character in this fine whisky, we decided not to chill filter it. Should
water be added, it may alter in appearance, acquiring a natural soft haze.
As one of only
861 bottles
ever produced, this bottle of Bowmore 1957, aged Thirty Eight Years, is a
true gem in the Bowmore family.
Tasting notes
The colour of autumn leaves, this full bodied malt
whisky which had gained great character from its 'Big Sleep' on Islay.
Forest wood and sweet fruits are suggested on nosing, with just a trace of
peat. Its Islay character is more evident on the palate as is the sea
salt, which clings to the lips. Layers of caramel, soft fruit and dried
apples are there. Give this exquisite malt whisky time to open up and
enjoy the gentle, elegant finish that seemingly goes on forever - an
incredible Islay experience.

1957 Distillation
54 Years Old
12 bottles
released in 2012
The oldest Bowmore
ever
and the oldest Islay Single Malt
ever released to the public!
In October 2012 we released our
oldest ever expression,
the exceptionally rare Bowmore 1957, 54 Years
Old.
Not only is this the oldest whisky we have ever released,
it is
also the oldest Islay Single Malt ever released. Distilled in 1957 and
bottled in 2011, this 54-year-old marvel has been lying in wait in the
finest oak for more than half a century in
our legendary No.1 Vaults,
the oldest maturation warehouse
in all of Scotland.
With
only 12 bottles in existence in the world,
Bowmore 1957
is the oldest and rarest ever Bowmore, ensuring that this
will become one of the most sought-after bottlings of one of the world’s
most collectible Single Malt Scotch Whiskies.
Many generations have been the
custodians of Bowmore 1957’s long journey from cask to bottle. Beginning
in 1779
when Bowmore was established through to the present day, our
distillery team has served as guardians of Bowmore’s whisky-making
traditions and its inventory, safeguarding them so that future
generations can continue to experience the unique spirit that is Bowmore.
Bowmore 1957 was as much nurtured by the people as it was by its cask
and the ancient distillery walls.
A collection of 1957 casks were
bottled in 1995 but one in particular was held back because it was a bit
more special,
a bit more exceptional than the rest. Since 1995,
the whisky
in that cask has been examined every six months to check
the quality, the taste, the developments and changes the
spirit was taking
on its aging voyage. It was also closely watched to see how long the
whisky could mature without losing Bowmore’s signature trait of a sweet/smoky
balance.

Cask maturation
This 54-year-old Bowmore 1957 is a
symphony of aromas
and flavours never before experienced. After
distillation in 1957, the new spirit was placed into a second fill
sherry cask (where it spent 43 years) and then in 2000 was moved into a
second fill bourbon cask.
Tasting notes
At first breath, an elixir of blueberries and
wild figs with mellow almonds, tropical fruit and rich oaky overtones
hits the nose. The palate reveals layer upon layer
of sweet and refined
ocean tastes with soft blueberries, cassis and figs, sea salt and fresh
eucalyptus. Next, a wisp of teasing smoke and traces of dark chocolate
fuse with notes of grapefruit and juicy oak, carried along by a warming
marine breeze. This sensory journey ends with a long and whispering
finish of cassis, bergamot and star anise. Simply magical!

1961 Distillation
50 Years Old
1st release (2013)
200 bottles
released: 50 per year will become available each year between 2013 and
2016.
Bowmore, Islay’s first Single Malt Scotch Whisky, is launching its 2013
expression – the Bowmore 50 Year Old - as part of an exquisite and
extremely limited range which has included other releases such as the
1957 and ‘Eclipse’.
The Bowmore 50 year old (1961) is a
work of true craftsmanship utilising the finest Scottish materials. The
collector, for the sum of £16,000, will acquire a bottle which has
been hand-blown by renowned glass sculpting studio Glasstorm, while the
neck collars and cork tops of the bottles have been beautifully made by
Fattorini Silversmiths. To complete the piece, the bottle will be housed
within handmade cabinets which have been crafted in Scottish Elmwood by
master carpenter Peter Toaig.
Crafted to perfection
Distilled one very cold day in December 1961 and laid down in
two ex-bourbon hogshead casks, our Bowmore 50 Years Old has
spent half a century maturing in Bowmore’s legendary No. 1
Vaults. Today, just 200 bottles of
this truly exceptional single malt remain –
50 of which will be released
each year between 2013 and 2016.
Bowmore 1961 is a celebration of not just one mastercraft but
many, starting with the time-honoured skills of our small
distillery team that cold winter’s day on Islay. |

1961 Distillation
50 Years Old
2nd release (2014)
Eddie MacAffer, Bowmore’s Master Distiller, said: "The
second release of this 50 year old
Bowmore reminds us of yet another wonderful example of the older
whiskies that the Distillery has matured in our No. 1 Vaults
warehouse, right on the shores of Loch Indaal. This rare whisky
was slowly and expertly distilled using the old coal-fired
stills used in Bowmore at that time and was then filled into
ex-bourbon hogshead casks and carefully stored away in the No 1
Vaults. Those that get to taste the results of all that
dedication and care, applied since 1961, should feel extremely
privileged." |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Tasting notes
On the eye warm honey gold. Breathe in sweet almond frangipane in coconut
milk, the fruitiness of apricots and crystallised orange, together with
hints of black truffles and tea tree oil. Sip bursts of ripe fruit –
figs, fleshy papaya, pomegranate and pineapple – intermingled with black
truffles and gentle smoke. Savour the evolving finish of almond cake and
caramelised pears interwoven with subtle peat oils.

1964
Distillation
46 Years Old
Fino cask matured
72 bottles
released in 2011
This Bowmore 1964 encapsulates the fresh, crisp and cooling coastal
atmosphere of Islay. Aged for nearly
half a century, the whisky's home
was a specially selected North American bourbon cask followed by a Fino
Sherry cask, during which the characteristics of the whisky have evolved
and refined to create a teasingly complex and elegant balance, enhancing
the top note of fresh fruits
and gentle sea-salt, lengthening and
cooling the palate and leaving a beautifully elegant finish.

Tasting notes
On the eye sunset
gold. Breathe in ripe peach water, floral rose water and just a wisp of
smoking barley.
Sip lusciously ripe peaches, but balanced by a more acidic note - juicy
blood oranges or sharp pink grapefruit.
Savour wood with coconut creams and sweetness, leading to a finish of
gentle peat fires glowing in the dusk.

Bowmore Vaults
1971 51-Year-Old is a
limited-edition single malt whisky from Islay, Scotland,
initially aged in sherry-seasoned European Oak casks
before being finished in an Oloroso Sherry butt for an
additional three years. This meticulous process imparts
a profound depth of character, emblematic of Bowmore's
storied tradition.
The whisky, with
its deep mahogany hue, reflects a rich legacy from the
1970s, a period marked by significant enhancements under
Stanley P. Morrison's ownership. Morrison, a renowned
Glasgow whisky broker, oversaw the installation of new
equipment that elevated Bowmore’s reputation. The 1971
Vaults expression captures the essence of this era,
blending the aged union of spirit and oak into a truly
multifaceted whisky.
Two bottles (were)
available exclusively at WOWS (World of Wines & Spirits
at Singapore Changi airport) for
S$62,000 (~US$46.750) each.

Tasting notes
Colour: Old gold.
Nose: Very sweet and smooth, on juicy malt, tropical fruits (papaya
and passion fruits), grape juice and some old peat smoke.
Taste: Peaty, smoky, salty, maritime, sweet and
sugary, on melon,
water melon and passion fruits.
The finish is smooth, with a hint of
dryness, on

General Impression: A
most pleasant, juicy, and sweet Bowmore, as elegant as the decanter
which contains the precious liquid. |

A whisky
definitively shaped by me
Distilled in 1989, this
rare single malt whisky has been carefully nurtured for three
decades in our finest Sherry hogsheads and Bourbon barrels.
Bottled at a cask
strength of 45.3%, this 30-Year-Old is a celebration of
Bowmore’s rich fruity and subtly smoky style. With only 2580
bottles available in 2020, Bowmore 30-Year-Old inspired by the
terrain that surrounds the Bowmore Distillery and the legendary
landscape that defines our whisky. Capturing the art of time,
this whisky takes cues from the detailed markings on driftwood
and the refined polish of sea glass, reflecting its eternal
connection with Islay. |
