Bowmore 1995 'The Rockpool' Wemyss Malt
Lot number: 068-1010
Winning bid: £195
The Wemyss family's connections with the industry date back to the turn of the 19th century when John Haig (founder of Haig's) built his first distillery on Wemyss land.
Its range was conceived with the aim of making it more accessible and understandable. It uses the taste and aromas of the individual whiskies to identify each bottling, rather than the distillery, so the consumer can more easily understand the style being purchased.
The oldest distillery on Islay, Bowmore has been described as the Grande Dame of the island. It still has its own floor maltings which make up about 30% of its requirements. Its No. 1 vaults are the oldest maturation warehouse in Scotland and the only one below sea level.

57.2% ABV / 70cl
