bowmore 1957 bottle
Limited Edition

Bowmore 1957, 54 
Year Old Scotch

A symphony of aromas and flavours make the 1957 the first and last of its kind. In October 2012, we released what was our oldest single malt scotch whisky at the time. Distilled in 1957 and bottled in 2011, this marvel has been lying in wait for more than half a century. With only 12 bottles in existence, not only is this the second oldest Bowmore whisky we have ever released, it is also one of the oldest Islay single malt scotch whisky ever released.
