1991 Distillation
21 Years Old
400+ bottles released in 2012
In the summer of 1991
the president of Suntory,
Mr. Keizo Saji visited Bowmore
distillery. After mixing drying malt in a kiln and touring
the still house, what was waiting for him in the
warehouse
was one sherry cask. His tour guide, Mr. Brian Morrison,
handed Mr. Saji a bung to close the full new cask, and a wooden hammer.
The cask Mr. Saji
filled himself was put into
storage near the sea.
Unexpectedly, the cask
was placed right next to the malt
cask donated
by Bowmore to Her Majesty the Queen.
Subsequently, in
1994, Suntory became the
owner
of Morrison Bowmore. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
After the death of Mr. Saji his son visited Bowmore
distillery and donated his father's
cask to the employees of Morrison Bowmore.
The single sherry cask was distilled in 1991 and bottled in
2012, this 21 year old Bowmore was
only given to employees
of Morrison Bowmore and not for general sale. |

Aged 51 Years
The Distillers One of One
Bottle no. 1 of 1
Distilled 17th
February 1970
1.4 litres + 10 cl miniature
A
special bottle of Bowmore 51
Years Old, matured in American oak refill barrel.
With just a single
bottle in existence, Bowmore Onyx 51 Year Old is one of the most exceptionally rare whiskies to ever come to auction at
Sotheby's (December 3rd, 2021). |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
“For the first time, we
are releasing a 51-Year-Old
Bowmore, making this one off extremely rare and precious. To
make this happen, we’ve taken a single portion of stock
taken from a cask that has been carefully watched over by
the distillery team and nurtured in the legendary No.1
Vaults.
Bowmore Onyx more than a name it symbolises the
precious whisky inside this beautifully crafted bottle and
the process of time which has shaped its contents. There is
no doubt this one of a kind will be hugely desired by those
who love our incredible single malt.”
David Turner,
Bowmore distillery manager |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
This exceptionally rare
and unique 51-Year-Old single
malt is the encapsulation of time, with over half a century
of craftsmanship, quality and character embedded in its
creation and story. Presented in a striking, hand blown
black glass vessel which takes its inspiration from the
incredible terroir of Bowmore’s island home, this is a once
in a lifetime release from Islay’s oldest distillery. In an
American Oak refill barrel, which was filled on
17th February 1970, this rare
masterpiece is the first 51 Year Old
every released by the distillery.
Nurtured in the
legendary Bowmore No. 1 Vaults, this whisky has spent its
long life resting quietly in the cool, dark, damp cellars
below sea level, oblivious to the waves thrashing the
vault's sea-facing wall, slowly evolving its distinctive
character.
This single malt is very much defined and shaped by over 50
years in oak, however the influence of Islay remains a
constant. Burnished gold in colour, the exquisite fresh and
fruity aromas thrill the nose with the sweetness of stewed
white flesh peaches balanced with the punchy notes of
menthol and eucalyptus. Then signature peat smoke sneaks in
alongside woody notes of polished cedarwood and burnt
caramel.
Tasting notes
The tantalising
taste of sweet orchard fruit and spices excite the palate as
tobacco, earthy walnuts and pecan nuts lead to a mouth
warming, long lasting finish. The creation of the one-off
glass structure celebrates Islay, but more than that, it is
itself a masterpiece in glass design. Handblown using highly
skilled and creative techniques results in a piece of glass
art which almost appears chiseled from the very rock
formations of Islay. |

This unique expression of Bowmore has been carefully
selected by the maltmen of Bowmore Distillery. Since 1779
the distillery craftsmen
have continued in the age old
tradition of floor malting the barley by hand. The barley is
carefully germinated in the distillery malt barns then
slowly dried in the distillery's peat fired kiln. |
