Bowmore 1955-1995 - 40 Year Old

1 bottle Bowmore 1955 - 1995. 40 year old. Engraved decanter in wooden lockable presentation cabinet with stopper and certificate. and padlock. 70cl. 42%. 

In cask this has seen seven different distillery managers. It started life in a Bourbon Hogshead, 20 years later it was transferred to a carefully selected Sherry Butt, it was then left to mature for a further 20 years. The outcome is a pinnacle of its kind.

If Bowmore from the 1960s is emphatically tropical in character then the few 1950s examples reveal the same fruitiness but with an added industrial weight in the form of a deep oiliness and a huge, fat coastal thickness as well. This 1955 is probably one of the greatest examples of this unique style and one of the most unforgettable drinking experiences you'll ever have. 

The decanter and wooden presentation both reflect similar care and attention to detail as the liquid itself. Using traditional skills each decanter has been individually blown, hand cut and engraved by the artists of Caithness Glass.

Each decanter is individually numbered and has been created to reflect images of the traditional Bowmore bottle. The individual oak presentation case has been hand made by the Master Cabinet Makers of Charles Kirkby & sons. These skills combined are the result of a pure pedigree.
