|
|
I have been informed that later this month Bowmore will launch a very rare whisky but meanwhile here is a teaser video showing how the unique platinum top for the cork was made by specialist Hamilton & Inches, a leading Edinburgh jewellers.

William, that's quite a box, more like a rare chest to house a very special treasure. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

| I wonder if it could be another edition of Black Bowmore which was a 1964 vintage so if they still had some in a cask it would be about 48 year old now. So i will have a guess at it being a 48 year old. Price £8000 |

| They have done a Bowmore 40 year old a couple of years ago i think, cant remember what the price tag was though. Anyway all the big distilleries seem to have a 50 year old whisky so i would guess it will be a 50 year old with a £12000 price tag. |

| That is some size of box, you wouldnt get many of those in your whisky cabinet. I would guess it will be a 50 year old getting released |

| After watching the video of the craftsmen producing the bottle and the box i got the impression that whatever the release it will be very small. |

Here is the final teaser video before Bowmore reveal the whisky itself, this time focusing on the craftsmanship that went into the hand blown glass bottle that will hold the soon to be released rare expression of Bowmore

I have been told all will be revealed on Monday 17th September, so watch this space. _________________ There's no bad whisky. Just good whisky and better whisky. |

That's one very impressive bottle with the Islay waves motif and the fusion of glass and platinum as materials. All they have to do now is "fill er' up". _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."
