Bowmore 1997 Infrequent Flyers 22 Year Old

The Alistair Walker Whisky Company is based in Grangemouth, Scotland and was established in 2018. Mr Walker gained over 20 years experience working in the whisky industry before he decided to form his own independent bottling company. 

This whisky was distilled at Bowmore distillery in 1997 and selected from single cask #2688. It has been aged for a total of 22 years which included a period of time being finished in a Pedro Ximénez-Sherry Puncheon. This bottling is part of the Infrequent Flyers series.

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. The unique microclimate in their iconic No.1 vaults shares very little with the angels, meaning casks are readily available for independent labels like this, many of which are spectacular.
