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.
This hand-filled bottling from Bowmore was aged exclusively in a Pedro Ximenez cask. This is the first 100% PX matured whisky from Bowmore and it was an instant hit, with some reports claiming it was sold out within 45 minutes.
