Whiskyland Chapter 06 Islay Single Malt (Bowmore) 1985 38 Year Old

This is a single, refill barrel of an Islay single malt that we have dubbed ‘Flowermore’. It was distilled in 1985, aged for 38 years and bottled at natural cask strength.  

As any visitors to Whiskyland will be aware, Flowermore is a curious single malt, renowned for producing some of the world’s worst whisky during the 1960s and early 1970s, it miraculously recovered for a violet-flavoured quality boom in the 1980s. This is one such cask of that amazing liquid.  

One of the very best 1980s Flowermore you are ever likely to taste! Soft violets, exotic fruits, intricately detailed peat smoke and less perfume than a branch of Boots that’s been hit with a 50-megaton Tsar bomb!
