Limited to 339 bottles, this 50-year-old is the crowning jewel of Bowmore’s Vaults Series. Distilled during the 1960s golden age and aged in Vault No.1, it reflects Islay’s maritime influence with subtle salinity and fragrant complexity. Matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads, it balances smoke and sea air with extraordinary depth, making it a pinnacle collectible and a rare opportunity to experience Bowmore’s heritage.

Nose

Peat smoke, salt, coconut cream

Palate

Lemon zest, coconut, peat smoke

Finish

black truffle, umami, peat smoke

Savory Bowmore smoke blends with salty spice. Water brings coconut cream, salted caramel and sweetness. Lemon zest and coconut carry through the palate with mellow peat. A faint black truffle note sits in the long, warming finish.
