Bowmore Bicentenary
Lot ID:100139
Bottle Description
One of two Bicentenary bottlings that were released in 1979, this is the multi-vintage version.
A truly legendary bottling of Bowmore that contains whisky vatted from a selection of casks distilled in the 1950s and 1960s, with the earliest distillate being from 1950.
The selected casks were all matured exclusively in Bowmore's famous No.1 Vault, the original warehouse at the distillery, which dates back to 1779.
The bottle, bearing the Morrison clan coat of arms, is a replica of a hand blown decanter.

Recent collectable releases include their Vintner's Trilogy and a colloraboration with luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin.
