Bowmore Legend Donnachie Mhor Limited Edition Tin

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 40%

An old bottling of the much-loved Bowmore Legend Islay single malt whisky. This particular edition is known as Donnachie Mhor and was bottled around 1997 as the fourth of what was to become a total of 13 different Bowmore Legend editions.

The story goes that the town of Bowmore was home to an illicit distiller called Donnachie Mhor, a trickster who managed to con a Customs official into paying for his new illegal still by informing them of the whereabouts of his old still and collecting a fat reward.

Bowmore Legend was first bottled in the 1990s and has featured sporadically in the core range ever since. Lacking an age statement, this expression was viewed with mistrust early on in some quarters, but it found its audience quite quickly among fans of fresh, mediumweight but still peaty Islay malts. A very nice old young Islay whisky.
