Bowmore Black Bowmore 1st Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 29 Year Old · 1964 Vintage

Colour

Deep, almost opaque ebony with a subtle mahogany edge and a warm copper-amber halo when held to the light.

Nose

Opulent peat smoke fans around a sherry-forward core: dried fig and plum, dark chocolate, and vanilla-wax oak. Sea-salt and iodine knit through lacquered wood, with leather and toasted almond adding refinement. A rare, captivating Islay aroma—rich, poised, and unforgettable, hinting at the depth of the 1964 release.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this Bowmore coats the palate with smoky richness tempered by sherry sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and dark chocolate unfold with espresso notes, while sea-salt and a touch of pepper lift the mid-palate. A creamy caramel core underpins a refined, long-lasting peat-driven finish that lingers with ash and lacquered wood.

Finish

Long, smoky and velvety, the finish glides with peat and sherry-dark fruit, cocoa nibs and espresso. A coastal warmth lingers, threaded with sea salt, oak spice, and a hint of burnt caramel, gradually fading to a refined ember that lingers in the mouth.
