Description

This is an independent bottling of Bowmore, known as 'Flowermore', from the Whiskyland Chapter Six series by Decadent Drinks. Distilled in 1985 and matured for 38 years, it is part of the second flagship collection from Decadent Drinks, introduced in 2024 to replace its Whisky Sponge range. The brand is conceived as an encyclopaedia of the fictional Whiskyland and will feature 100 bottlings known as Chapters. This particular release is noted for being one of the best 1980s Bowmore vintages, despite the distillery's 'notorious' mid-80s period.
