Description

Bowmore Frank Quitely 36 year

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.

Titled Lovers Transforned, this is another collaboration between Bowmore and graphic artist Frank Quitely. This impressive single malt was matured in American oak hogshead then finished in first fill Pinot Noir Barriques.

Smartly presented, the bottle includes an original signed print by Frank Quitely. It also includes notes from Bowmore Master Blended, Ron Welsh regarding the process of creating the whisky.

Frank Quitely (real name Vincent Patrick Deighan) is a Scottish comic book artist who studied as the Glasgow School of Art and has drawn for the likes of Marvel and DC Comics.
