This intriguing Bowmore single malt underwent a distinctive finish in rare Mizunara oak casks sourced from Japan. It marked the very first time that Mizunara casks were exported from Japan and employed for the finishing touch on a Scotch single malt. For this innovative experiment, a selection of distillates from the 1990s, aged between 15 and 25 years, was chosen. The whisky was then bottled in 2015 at a robust 53.9% 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.
