This 25-year-old Bowmore forms part of the ‘Xtra Old Particular’ range from Douglas Laing & Co., a limited series of hand-selected, aged single malts. The spirit was distilled in June 1996 and matured in a single refill hogshead until March 2022, resulting in a beautifully complex dram. Bowmore’s typical coastal smokiness is complemented by hints of cocoa, nuts, dried fruits and just a slightly herbal 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.
