Bowmore Black Bowmore Final Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 31 Year Old · 1964 Vintage

Colour

Jet-black, almost inky in hue, with a subtle mahogany edge and a warm, dark amber core that catches ruby highlights when held to the light.

Nose

Opulent peat smoke coils with sea-salt and iodine, cloaking a lacquered-wood sheen. Sherry-matured fruit blooms—fig, plum, raisin—layering with dark chocolate, cocoa and espresso. Subtle leather, caramelized sugar and toasted almond emerge as a maritime breeze lingers, delivering Bowmore’s signature smoky sweetness in a legendary, final-edition bouquet.

Palate

Silky, opulent on the palate with peat smoke and sherry sweetness. Dark chocolate, fig, raisin and caramel unfold with espresso, guided by a maritime breeze and salted oak. The texture is velvety and full, finishing long with resinous notes, tobacco and ash.

Finish

Remarkably long and smoky, the finish carries Bowmore’s coastal peat with a sherried sweetness. Dark chocolate, fig and toffee rise, balanced by a salty-sea brine and a touch of leather. A velvety warmth lingers, gradually fading to a mineral, ash-tinged note that keeps the memory of the island alive.
