Founded in 1779, Bowmore is known as Islay's oldest distillery. Among them, the "Bowmore De Luxe" bottles produced during the Morrison Bowmore era and exported to the Italian market are especially coveted by vintage spirit lovers worldwide as a "Golden Age Bowmore." Imported by the prestigious Italian importer Fecchio & Frassa from the 1970s to the 1980s, this bottle, bearing the distinctive Italian UTIF (red tax stamp)** still on the bottleneck, is an extremely rare historical relic from a time when the European market was supplied with exceptionally high-quality raw spirits.
The Italian market at the time was known for its discerning and sophisticated tastes when it came to single malts, and this "Deluxe" bottle was generously stocked with only the finest spirits that had reached the peak of maturation, the pride of Bowmore Distillery. The distinctive, tropical aromas of rich tropical fruit reminiscent of Bowmore from the Morrison era, which cannot be replicated in modern bottles, the elegant sea breeze finish typical of Islay malt, and the delicate peat smoke that has been mellowed by long ageing combine to create a flavor that is truly worthy of being called the "legendary Bowmore."
The label proudly features the historic emblem, which remains a symbol of the brand today, and the words "Since 1779." At 75cl (0.75 liters) and 43% alcohol, the international standard of the time, this whisky has been further refined by bottle aging. Even after nearly half a century, this bottle retains the luster of a "true Islay malt" carefully selected by the importer at the time, and, together with its original presentation box, it will be an unparalleled collection piece for collectors seeking the ultimate Old Scotch.
