Review by Bowmore

Colour

Almost ebony.

Nose

Exotic fruits, ginger and cinnamon.

Palate

Hints of ripe mango, toffee and dark chocolate with the faintest hint of the smoky Bowmore signature.

Finish

Luxurious, creamy and warm.

Note

Distilled on 5th November 1964, this first instalment of the Bowmore 1964 Trilogy was carefully filled into Oloroso sherry casks where it spent the next four decades and more perfecting its stunning aroma and palate, and the rich, deep, dark, almost ebony colour reflected in its name. Only 827 bottles of Black Bowmore 1964 were produced, making this an extremely rare and sought-after bottling.
