The first of the three extraordinary Oloroso cask 1964 Bowmores released in the early to mid-1990s. This is from 1993.
A much higher proportion of casks filled in the 1960s were sherry, and Black Bowmore is proof of the quality of some of those casks.
With an almost unfathomable concentration and intensity of flavour, and perfect balance of fruit, peat and power, this whisky deserves the frequently overused 'legendary' tag it has assumed.
