An older style bottling of Bowmore Legend single malt, an excellent non-age statement expression from the Islay-based distillery. Considering most legends are old (like tales of dragons roaming the land and amassing piles of gold, for instance), having an old bottle of Bowmore Legend seems very poetic.
 
Islay�s oldest working distillery, Bowmore was established in 1779 and is now regarded as one of the most popular malts not only on Islay, but in the whole of Scotland. The distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison in 1963, ushering in an era of iconic single malts, including the legendary Black Bowmore, credited by many as the genesis of whisky collecting, bottled in 1993. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year after they had been stakeholders since 1989), and it remains one of the most collectible brands in Scotch whisky today. Bowmore is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries to use its own floor maltings, providing them with 40% of their requirements.
 
Legend was a youthful non-age statement release, added to the core range in 1994 and produced until 2015 when it was replaced by the Small Batch Reserve.
