Finn Thomson

Bowmore 22 Years Old #7

ABV: 52% 70 cL

Bowmore 22 Years Old single malt Scotch whisky, distilled 28th August 2004 and matured for 22 years in a single bourbon barrel before being bottled on 29th August 2026. Over two decades the smoke has softened beautifully, allowing layers of tropical fruit, citrus and sweetness to emerge alongside gentle coastal peat.

This is Islay whisky with balance: smoky, but never simply smoky. A special release for Master Bottler Finn Thomson, whose relationship with Bowmore goes back to his very first trip to the island. Bottled by Finn Thomson Whisky as part of the Private Cask Collection at natural cask strength. 

£192.00

Tax included.

The Bowmore Distillery was granted its license to operate in 1779, making it the first legal distillery on the Isle of Islay and the second one in Scotland. However, historical records suggest that the founder of Bowmore, David Simpson, had been distilling in Bowmore for over a decade prior to the granting of the license. Bowmore Distillery survived many ups and downs, but the whisky was produced continuously until 1940 when RAF coastal command commandeered the distillery to help with the efforts. The distillery was reopened soon after. Currently, the Bowmore distillery is part of the Beam Suntory portfolio.
