High End Spirits Can Make Your Holiday Season Memorable.

The pleasure of high-end spirits has been making a huge comeback in the United States and in Asia. Partaking in these gifts from generations of distillers is considered a lifestyle to many as they travel the world in search of these treasures.

The BOWMORE 1965 ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY is certainly one of those rare finds and for those who have the money it’s well worth collecting it. The 1965 is the latest expression in the Vaults Series, a collection of the rarest whiskies from Bowmore’s No. 1 Vaults, one of the world’s oldest Scotch maturation houses.

The liquid was one of the first to pass through Bowmore’s then-new steam heated stills in 1965, benefitting from smoother heating and greater control, enabling the distillery to craft a spirit that was perfectly primed to mature over many decades. It is extremely limited with only 232 bottles of this extremely rare Scotch have been produced for the world; available as of December 2018.
