Premier Range. Cask number 4538. One of 39 decanters matured in a Bourbon Cask. 900ml. 44.1%.+ 2 x 5cl miniatures. In presentation box and outer box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe late 1960s are widely regarded as Bowmore's greatest period, a remarkable era that produced some of the most celebrated and collectible single malt whiskies ever bottled. Distilled during a time when traditional floor maltings, direct-fired stills and slower production methods were still central to the distillery's character, these legendary vintages have become benchmarks against which many of the world's finest whiskies are judged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary Bowmore was distilled on 20th October 1967 and matured for more than forty years in a single bourbon cask before being bottled in June 2008 as part of Bowmore's prestigious Premier Range. Drawn from Cask #4538 at a natural strength of 44.1% ABV, the cask yielded just 39 decanters, making it one of the rarest releases from this revered vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile many famous 1960s Bowmores owe their reputation to long maturation in sherry casks, this bourbon cask bottling offers a fascinating alternative perspective on the distillery's golden era. Four decades of patient maturation have allowed the spirit's distinctive tropical fruit character to shine through, supported by layers of soft peat smoke, maritime complexity and remarkable elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in the luxurious Premier Range leatherette case and accompanied by two miniature samples, this release exemplifies the type of ultra-premium bottling that helped cement Bowmore's reputation among collectors during the whisky boom of the early twenty-first century. Today, with only 39 bottles originally produced and very few appearing on the market, Cask #4538 stands among the rarest and most desirable examples of mature Bowmore from the distillery's legendary 1967 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58316762317181,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bowmore 1967-2008 - 40 Year Old - Premier Range - Single Cask 4538-Lot Id:0426-603","offer_id":58316762415485,"sku":"0426-603","price":12700.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0426-603-1_1160f2b6-f375-4af3-9182-d46f116514dd.jpg?v=1782336412","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/bowmore-1967-2008-40-year-old-premier-range-single-cask-4538-lot-id-0426-603","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
