Bowmore Sherriff's 75 Proof 1L
Lot number: 102-05821
Winning bid: £1,500
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!
This Sherriff's bottling from Bowmore has the Sailing Boat label from the early 1960s. These bottlings were created prior to the distillery being sold to Stanley P Morrison.
