Bowmore The 1964 Trilogy - Black, White & Gold 3 x 70cl
Lot number: 164-03438
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 fabled Trilogy of the 1964 Bowmores. The Black Bowmore was released in 2007, The White Bowmore was released in 2008, and the Gold Bowmore completed the trilogy in 2009.
