Bowmore 10 Year Old Glasgow Garden Festival 1988 is an Islay single malt released as a limited edition to mark the city landmark garden festival. Distilled in the late 1970s and bottled at 40% ABV, this expression provides a snapshot of the distillery character during a period of transition in its production history. The profile features a youthful and vibrant Islay smoke balanced by vanilla sweetness and a crisp maritime saltiness. On the palate, notes of citrus zest and malted barley lead into a medium finish with hints of medicinal peat and charcoal.

Bowmore is one of the oldest distilleries on Islay and the first on the island to receive a license. Officially founded in 1779 by local merchant David Simpson, it's likely that illicit distilling had been taking place for some years on the same site. The distillery had a number of different owners over the years, passing to Stanley Morrison in the mid 60s before being purchased by Beam Suntory in 1994.
The distillery has bottled some of the world's most desirable single malts over the years including the widely acclaimed White, Black and Gold Bowmore editions. Across the range, the spirit is characterised by a rich smoky character with hints of tropical fruit and ocean spray.
