Released to commemorate the landmark 1988 Glasgow Garden Festival, this limited-edition 10-Year-Old Bowmore Single Malt Islay Scotch Whisky captures the iconic mid-20th-century profile of the legendary Islay distillery. Bottled at 40% ABV in a classic 75cl format, it showcases signature Bowmore hallmarks of delicate coastal peat smoke, tropical fruit notes, and soft maritime brininess balanced by sweet oak vanillin from a decade of maturation in traditional oak casks. Highly sought after by collectors as both a vintage commemorative release and a rare snapshot of vintage Bowmore liquid from the 1970s and 1980s distillations, it delivers a lighter, floral-smoke profile distinct from modern expressions.
