Black Bowmore shines

The complete Black Bowmore single malt whisky collection will go under the hammer at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong in the spring. Five archive bottles, spanning from 1993-2016, are coming direct from the Islay distillery and will be presented in a cabinet made by John Galvin. The lot is expected to fetch around £400,000. Black Bowmore was released in 1993 as a 29-year-old, with further releases of a 30-year-old and 31-year-old over the following two years. It appeared as part of a trilogy in 2007 (42-year-old), and in 2016 as ‘the last cask’ (50-year-old). bowmore.com
