Somebody at Bowmore Islay Single Malt Whisky must have their eyes on a new car, as the oldest licensed distillery on Scotland's isle of Islay, has announced the global release of the third edition in the Bowmore 50 Years Old Vault Legends Collection.
The 41.5% ABV Bowmore 1966 50 Years Old, with a suggested retail price of £20,000 (€22,500), comes from a single rare cask, set aside in 1966 – the same year that Bowmore Single Malt Scotch was first officially bottled.
Having spent 50 years aging in Bowmore's No. 1 Vaults, one of the world's oldest Scotch maturation warehouses, it is now available with only 74 bottles being produced.
