Old bottlings of Bowmore from this era are highly collectible — this period coincides with the pre-Suntory era, before the distillery changed ownership and distillate style. The celebrated \"lavender\" character of old Bowmore is unique to stock produced before 1990, making any genuine 1980s bottling a genuinely irreplaceable artefact. Please note: as with all old bottles, the closure may have deteriorated and care should be taken when opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bowmore, Islay, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e De Luxe — No Age Statement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottling Era:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980s (pre-Suntory acquisition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43% | \u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial Distillery Bottling | Pre-EU format\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout 1980s Bowmore\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBowmore's pre-1990 distillate is universally distinguished by a haunting lavender and floral note found in no other whisky — a result of production methods and still geometry that changed after Suntory acquired the distillery. Every genuine 1980s Bowmore represents stock that is finite and can never be recreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold by Whiskys.co.uk is 100% authentic.
