Now that our Port Ellen 40 Year Old has found its forever home with Pat and the brand new Laphroaig 33 year old sold out, it’s time for Luxury & Rare’s next BIG competition. From another legendary Islay distillery (and the oldest) here we have this wonderful 1973 Bowmore 43 Year Old, with an average RRP of £6500!!

To make things that wee bit more special we have added 9 runner up prizes, including the stunning Aston Martin collection from Bowmore, and with editions 1 to 3 of this collection already reaching £500 per set in auctions, it really is becoming a collectors gem!

1st Prize – A Limited Release Of Long Aged Bowmore…

This truly special Bowmore 43 Year Old Single Malt whisky was distilled way back on 10th May 1973 from Islay’s oldest licensed distillery, and emerged from maturation after 43 long years in it’s home of the last 6 bourbon hogsheads from 1973, from within the world’s oldest Scotch maturation warehouse. From Cask numbers 3883 – 3888, this magical liquid was finally bottled on 2nd June 2016 at natural cask strength of 43.2%. The result is a near legendary dram, with stacks of 90+ ratings across the internet and a reputation for epitomising the fruity character of the era.
