Bowmore, Islay’s oldest licensed distillery, has recently unveiled Rarity Defined, a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Scotland, showcasing an exceptionally rare single malt whisky – the Bowmore 1965.
Distilled during one of Bowmore’s most definitive decades in its 240-year history, alongside the iconic Black Bowmore, this 52-Year-Old whisky is, the team said, “laden with layers of flavour, natural rich colour and complexity absorbed from Oloroso sherry oak casks.”
The spirit has been matured in the distillery’s legendary No.1 Vaults, one of the world’s oldest maturation warehouses.
Providing notes including fragrant fruits, sweet bees wax and intense dark chocolate, developing into burnt heather, this expression is presented in a striking hand-blown glass decanter, handcrafted with sterling silver.
This whisky, a bottle of which will be presented to guests on this experience, is at the heart of Rarity Defined, which is bookable now priced at £28,050.
The experience also includes a bespoke private dinner hosted by the makers behind Bowmore’s whisky, a behind-the-scenes tour of the distillery and access to additional rare expressions.
Priced at £28,050.00 for two guests, Rarity Defined also includes:
Speaking about the rare Bowmore 1965, David Turner, Bowmore distillery manager said: “This is certainly one of the most remarkable whiskies we have produced during my time at the distillery.
“The expression demonstrates the rewards of Bowmore's meticulous aging process, combined with the expertise of our distillery team.
“This expression has obtained legendary status amongst collectors and whisky enthusiasts and showcases why Bowmore is one of the most collectable single malts in the world.”
Kirsteen Beeston, senior global marketing director, Scotch and Irish, Suntory Global Spirits owners of Bowmore added: “The exceptional Bowmore 1965 deserves to be celebrated with an incredible experience, to create a life-long memory for the owner of this coveted single malt.
“As one of Scotland’s oldest licensed distilleries, Bowmore provides that worthy moment, rich in history, storytelling, passion for the craft of whisky making and an enviable inventory of single malts.”
