Bowmore 21 Year Old Old Malt Cask 1996 is an Islay single malt bottled by Hunter Laing in 2018. Distilled in 1996 and matured in refill hogshead 14867, this expression captures the transition towards a more tropical and balanced peat style. Notes of saline sea breeze, lemon zest and soft tropical fruit dominate the palate, supported by a distinct maritime brine. The refill wood provides a gentle framework of vanilla and vanilla oak without masking the smoky, coastal essence of the spirit. Each of the 300 bottles is non-chill filtered and bottled at 50% ABV.

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.
