Bowmore Samaroli Flowers 1979 is a 40 Year Old Islay single malt whisky, distilled in 1979 and selected by Silvano Samaroli, a renowned figure in independent bottling. This expression was matured in a single cask, showcasing a vibrant floral profile enhanced by the influence of the coastal environment. Tasting notes reveal layers of tropical fruits, lavender and a gentle coastal smoke, accompanied by an unexpected sweetness and a distinct oily texture. The selection process by Samaroli highlights an artistic approach, presenting a whisky that diverges from Bowmore`s traditional house style.

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.
