Bowmore 28 Year Old Sherry Hogshead (Feis Ile 2011) 1983 is an age-statement single malt commemorating the Isle of Islay`s festival. This expression originates from a single Sherry hogshead cask, yielding just 100 bottles. Its maturation in Sherry wood imparts rich, complex character, showcasing the influence of the cask on the whisky`s profile. Bowmore, established in 1779, is one of Islay’s oldest distilleries and is known for its commitment to traditional whisky-making practices. This offering is a significant addition for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

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.
