Description

Islay's Bowmore distillery and renowned Italian bottler, the late Silvano Samaroli, are both legends in the world of the whisky. The 1966 Bouquet is the glittering supernova that is created when these two key elements of whisky history collide, at just the perfect moment in time. Regarded by many as one of, if not the best whisky ever bottled, it is not often one of these absolute gems is brought to market. The Bowmore 1966 Samaroli Bouquet is an independent bottling by Silvano Samaroli, considered one of the finest whiskies ever bottled, often selling at record-breaking prices at auction.
