Beam Suntory has added to the ‘Vaults’ series from its Bowmore brand with a 1969 expression available exclusively through Global Travel Retail (GTR).
The Bowmore 1969 is on sale from this week at London’s Heathrow Airport, with Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Istanbul Airport set to follow later this year. Just 339 bottles of the 52-year old Islay single malt will be available globally.
The 1969 whisky is the final release in Bowmore’s ‘vault collection’ – a series of limited-edition iterations with an age of 50 years or over. Previous launches have included expressions from 1965, 1966 and 1964.
“The 1960s are truly the defining decade for Bowmore distillery and rightfully these incredible whiskies have become amongst the most admired and revered single malts we’ve ever produced,” said distillery manager David Turner.
