BACKGROUND
The Bowmore distillery was founded in 1779 by by John Simpson on the shores of Lochindaal and was one of the first legal distilleries on Islay. Bowmore still operates traditional floor maltings. In 1994 it was acquired by the Japanese whisky company Suntory. This old malt is individually bottled and presented under the distinctive Coopers Choice label. Casks of malts at different ages are selected from some of Scotland's finest, but rarely bottled distilleries. They encompass all the varied tastes and flavours to be found from the Eastern coastline, to the Highland Valleys and all the way to the Western Isles.
The Duncan Taylor Whisky Galore range represents a new generation of premium single malt Scotch whiskies from more recent quality vintages. These 1980s and 1990s bottlings are available at various strengths and remain in their natural form with no chill-filtering or colouring.
Whisky Galore is known as the Legendary Scotch in celebration of the famous incident in 1941 when the S.S. Politician, a cargo ship laden with whisky, foundered in the Sound of Eriskay, off the West coast of Scotland.
The ship sailed into history and legend when her unfortunate demise presented the local islanders with an unexpected and irresistible bounty of ‘free’ whisky, which they smuggled ashore.
Duncan Taylor bottle an extensive selection of single malts under the Whisky Galore brand providing a comprehensive selection from each whisky producing region of Scotland.
