Bowmore 1989 – 23 Year Old – Port Cask Matured ( 50.8% abv)

This 1989 vintage was aged entirely in port casks and bottled in 2013. One of the pillars of Islay’s whisky community and history the old world Bowmore distillery, one of the few in Scotland to still do floor-maltings, sits in the center of the island’s main village, on a hill overlooking the water. If “Islay” could be an adjective, this is as Islay as it gets. This rare Scotch is housed in a crimson hinged box that includes a certificate handwritten by the Bowmore Distillery manager Eddie MacAffer.
