This Bowmore 15 year old ceramic bottling was released in 1988 to coincide with the 1988 Glasgow Garden Festival and contains circa 1973 distilled whisky. It’s a fantastic example of the legendary tropical fruit notes that Bowmore was famed for during the 1960s and 1970s.
The whisky was bottled at 40%.
