Black Bowmore 42 years 1964 Of. New Limited Edition Sherry Cask - One of 827 - bottled 2007 The Trilogy

Cuvée presentation

Black Bowmore was distilled in 1964 and bottled in 2007 after ageing for 42 years in oloroso sherry casks in the distillery’s famous Vault No.1. This emblematic cellar, located below sea level, offers unique ageing conditions where high humidity levels slow the evaporation of alcohol, limiting the angels' share to around 1% per year. This was the fourth edition of Black Bowmore, in a series of five bottlings that have become benchmarks in the world of collector's whisky. Originally, these 1964 casks were stored amongst others, but Bowmore's management eventually noticed their exceptional nature after distillery workers got into the habit of drawing drams from them. Black Bowmore marked a turning point in the history of whisky, as much for its unique profile as for its positioning. A limited edition of 827 bottles.

The distillery Bowmore

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Beam - Suntory

Located on the Isle of Islay, in the heart of the village of the same name, in 1963 Bowmore became, under the aegis of Stanley P. Morrison (owner of the distillery until it was bought by the Japanese company Suntory in 1994), one of the greatest commercial successes in the Scotch whisky industry. Vault #1, responsible for some of its greatest releases, including Bowmore 30 Year Old 1963 and Bowmore Bicentenary, played an important role in forging its international reputation. Built below sea level against a natural dyke, its walls and beaten earth floors are constantly steeped in sea spray. Rooted in tradition, Bowmore is one of the last remaining distilleries to malt part of its own barley on-site. Whether matured in bourbon casks (White Bowmore 1964) or sherry casks (Black Bowmore 1964), its spirit, characterized by notes of liquorice, peat and eucalyptus, never fails to reveal the trademark hint of exotic fruit for which the distillery is known.
