Bowmore 15 Year Old Mariner 1990s

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 750ml / 43%

An old 750ml bottle of Bowmore 15 Year Old Mariner, this screen-printed edition is an early release from the mid 1990s, produced shortly after the expression was introduced.

Originally introduced to help satisfy growing demand for Bowmore's hugely popular 17 Year Old during the 1990s whisky boom, Mariner quickly developed a loyal following in its own right. Bottled at 43% ABV and matured predominantly in American oak ex-bourbon casks, with a small proportion of sherry casks adding extra depth, it offered a lighter, more maritime style than many contemporary Islay malts while retaining Bowmore's signature balance of gentle peat smoke, citrus fruit, vanilla, honey and coastal salinity.

The striking nautical-themed screen-printed bottle have become iconic among Bowmore fans, making these 1990s releases particularly desirable for both collectors and drinkers seeking a classic example of Bowmore from one of the distillery's most respected modern eras.
