Bowmore 1966 50 Year Old
Lot number: 097-06530
This lot failed to meet its reserve.
Surely there are few locations more evocative than the shores of Lochindaal, an area positively steeped in rich Scottish folklore. It's no wonder then that Bowmore has a whiff of magic about it (or perhaps that's just the whisky). The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore still retains its own floor maltings; and while they can no longer meet all of the busy distillery's requirements, they still contribute a third of the malt used in every mash.
Just because something is old, doesn't mean it's old-fashioned, and Bowmore's eco-friendly heat recovery system not only cuts down on those pesky bills, it also heats the town swimming pool!
The Bowmore 1966 vintage is an exceptional and rare expression from the first year Bowmore's distilleries 'Islay Single Malt' was first bottled; previously marketed as 'fillings' or filled casks. It was also the first year distillery manager Eddie Macaffer joined Bowmore and he went on to work there for 50 years.
