Bowmore - 1991 - 28 Year Old - Single Cask 88 Scottish Folklore Series 5th Release

Surely there are few locations more evocative than the shores of Lochindaal, an area positively steeped in rich Scottish folklore. It's no wonder then that Bowmore has a whiff of magic about it (or perhaps that's just the whisky). The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore still retains its own floor maltings; and while they can no longer meet all of the busy distillery's requirements, they still contribute a third of the malt used in every mash.

Just because something is old, doesn't mean it's old-fashioned, and Bowmore's eco-friendly heat recovery system not only cuts down on those pesky bills, it also heats the town swimming pool!

The fifth in the Scottish Folklore Series, features the design of the Caointeach. Distilled on the Isle of Islay at Bowmore distillery, this expression has been bottled by independent bottlers Cask 88 as part of their Scottish Folkore Series. This expression was distilled in 1991 and was put down to mature in a single ex-bourbon cask for over 28 years. One of a limited release of only 200 bottles, this release has been bottled at a strength of 53.2% abv.
