The Science of Water and Whisky – Part 4 Impact of Different Water Qualities on Bowmore

So it is the start of 2013 and already a busy year is planned! After such a nice break over the holiday period, it is great to be back into the swing of things. It all started this past weekend on the Viking Line Cinderella Whisky Cruise in Sweden.

We are delighted to announce that the No. 1 bottle of our oldest ever expression, the exceptionally rare Bowmore 1957, 54 Years Old has been sold for £100,000 (approximately $160,000) at the Bowmore Distillery on Islay. This bottle is not only the oldest whisky the distillery has ever released, it is also the oldest Islay Single Malt ever released.  As promised by Morrison Bowmore Distillers, owners of Bowmore,all the net proceeds will be donated to five Scottish charities. The owner, a resident of the United States, would like to remain anonymous.

Well, I think I have done my last trip of the year and what a year it has been! 98 flights, 120 nights in hotel but all in all a fantastic year of activity! 2012 consisted of a visit to a total of 14 European countries and attending a variety of events with the Bowmore range. Newer developing markets such as Russia and Estonia and more mature markets such as France and ther UK.
