As you can imagine there's been an incredible amount of Bowmore leave the distillery since but not many before. These old Bowmore are notorious for intense tropical fruits and subtle peat. This one is summed up as... Like many new 'high-end' whiskies these days the packaging is often quite striking. In fact the craftsmanship for this Bowmore 50 year old is one of the best we've seen and the attention to detail is impeccable; From the hand-blown decanter to the presentation itself. The bottle is hand-blown by Glasstorm, the engraved silver collar and stopper is the work of Thomas Fattorini whilst the bespoke Burr Elm display cabinet is handcrafted by Peter Toaig.
