Review by Bowmore

Colour

Dark amber.

Nose

Fragrant fruits, sweet beeswax and intense dark chocolate.

Palate

Burnt heather and fresh spring flower.

Finish

A touch of jasmine, dried fruit and apricots. Best savoured neat.

Note

Matured for 52 years, this is the third edition from the Bowmore 50-Year-Old Vaults Series. The liquid in this remarkably rare limited-edition bottling was some of the first to pass through Bowmores then-new steam heated stills in 1965. The extended maturation period has created a rare and refined whisky with the perfect blend of complexity and elegance, exemplifying Bowmores history spent perfecting the art of whisky maturation. This expression is a rich reward for those who value the importance of savouring time.
