One of 2,000 bottles. 75cl. 50%. In wooden presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA legendary bottle, the first edition of Black Bowmore 1964 was a 29-year-old Islay single malt whisky released by the distillery in 1993. This bottling did arguably more than any other individual whisky to kick off the renaissance in Islay single malt and catalysed the luxury whisky market at the same time. It's become a bit of a cliche to talk about how this bottle cost £70 upon release in 1993 but it goes to show just what a legendary whisky it is and how important it was as a bottling in formulating the early mentality of serious whisky enthusiasm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistilled in 1964 and bottled in 1993 at 50% after 29 years of maturation in sherry casks, the Black Bowmore first edition is one of the all time great Bowmores and one of those drams that needs to be tasted to be believed.  This famous first bottling of Black Bowmore 1964 was an edition of 2000 bottles released at a very hearty 50% without an enormous amount of fanfare in 1993 from a batch of 1964 Oloroso sherry casks that has subsequently passed into whisky folklore. A palate of  extraordinarily rich, dense, chewy peat and oceans of tropical fruit, this Bowmore deserves its place in the pantheon of whisky history. An absolutely incredible whisky and one of the most unforgettable drinking experiences you'll ever have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular bottle features a well-preserved filling level and the original wax seal. It is important to note that many of these bottles were historically re-worked and resealed with lead capsules by the distillery, as the original wax seals frequently failed or broke. Consequently, this is one of the few examples you will find in such well-preserved condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58167021437309,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Bowmore 1964-1993 - 29 Year Old - 1st Edition-Lot Id:0326-258","offer_id":58167021470077,"sku":"0326-258","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0326-258-1_3d1fa88c-5671-4d68-87ca-5fc924901312.jpg?v=1778705175","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/black-bowmore-1964-1993-29-year-old-1st-edition-lot-id-0326-258","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
