Bowmore 25 Year Old 1968 is an Islay single malt distilled in 1968 and released as an original distillery bottling in the mid-1990s. This expression is highly regarded by connoisseurs for its concentration of tropical fruit notes, including mango and pineapple, which were characteristic of the distillery output during this era. Maturation in a combination of bourbon and Sherry wood has yielded a sophisticated palate of dark chocolate, sea salt and soft peat smoke. At 43% ABV, the spirit retains a full, oily texture that carries the complex maritime and fruit flavours through to a long finish.

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.
