About this bottle
The Bowmore Sherriff's 1970s Islay Single Malt Miniature is a highly collectible vintage miniature bottle of Scotch whisky, typically measuring 1 2/3 Fl. Oz. (roughly 5cl) and bottled at 70° Proof (40% ABV).
These historical expressions were bottled during the era when Stanley P. Morrison managed the distillery via the Sherriff's Bowmore Distillery Ltd subsidiary. Because they contain legendary spirit distilled in the 1960s, they are deeply sought after by collectors for their signature balance of vibrant tropical fruit and peat smoke.
