Bowmore has released a 30 year old limited edition of only 1800 bottles for the travel market (is that what we call tax-free?), and it looks promising

Bowmore says that this thirty years old expression depicts the Celtic legend of the sea dragon ‘Kranna Dubh’ who once inhabited the depths of Loch Indaal, the sea loch over looked by Bowmore Distillery. Legend has it that Loch Indaal turned red with blood when a great Scottish warrior slayed the dragon with his magical sword. To this day, it is said that, on certain evenings the Loch still turns red with the blood of ‘Krannah Dubh’.

Bowmore is the original and oldest of all the Islay distilleries, having crafted its award winning single malt whisky since 1779. Lying on the shores of Loch Indaal, at the heart of the island, Bowmore is renowned for its beautifully balanced, warm and smoky malt whisky.

The 30 year old dragon is available in Bowmore’s online store.
