Bowmore 25 Year Old Old Particular 1987 is an Islay single malt whisky, distilled in 1987 and independently bottled by Douglas Laing. Matured for a quarter of a century in a single refill hogshead, it exemplifies the region`s character. The aroma reveals a blend of medicinal peat smoke, sea salt, and honeyed malt. On the palate, tangy notes of iodine and citrus emerge, bolstered by a mineral core. Tropical fruit flavours, including Mango and Pineapple, contribute to its complexity. This expression reflects the coastal influences of Islay while softening the robust edges typical of younger spirits. Time has refined the whisky’s texture to a velvety finish with ashy undertones, offering connoisseurs a distinctive insight into the 1987 vintage`s legacy.

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.
