Description

Bowmore 1969 50 Year Old is an ultra-rare Islay single malt Scotch whisky distilled in 1969 and bottled in 2021 as the final release in Bowmore's Vault Series. It was matured for half a century in a mix of American oak ex-bourbon barrels and Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks. This exceptional whisky embodies the complexity and elegance that only extended ageing can deliver from one of Scotland's oldest distilleries.

Nose
Freesia, dried geranium, and lilies of the valley merge with the aromas of Chablis, citrus fruits, and gooseberries, then sweeter notes of acacia honey, apple pie, vanilla pods, and cream.
Palate
Initially dry and floral with notes of carnations, developing into sweeter notes of lemon meringue, grilled almonds, and light crème caramel fudge, with a hint of white pepper, nutmeg oak spices, and light coconut.
Finish
Lightly sweet and warm with subtle floral notes and malty flavours.
