Bowmore 9 Year Old 2017 Lady of the Glen Samhain is a vibrant Islay single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by Lady of the Glen for its atmospheric Samhain Series. Distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2026, this 9 year old Bowmore was matured in a single first-fill barrel, cask #56, yielding just 268 bottles at a powerful 57.0% ABV. Bowmore is known for combining elegant peat smoke with maritime freshness, citrus and subtle fruit, and this youthful single cask expression keeps that distillery character firmly in focus. The first-fill barrel adds sweetness, vanilla and gentle oak spice, while the underlying spirit delivers sea spray, bonfire smoke, lemon and orchard fruit. Bottled at high strength, it offers a lively and expressive take on classic Islay single malt. This release forms part of the Lady of the Glen Samhain Series, where each whisky is paired with a tale inspired by Scottish folklore and local legend. The evocative labels are created by Edinburgh-based artist and designer Steven Shand, whose intricate artwork and storytelling draw on more than 15 years of experience in the Scottish whisky industry. Together, the whisky and artwork capture the haunting, atmospheric spirit of Samhain and Scotland’s rich cultural past.

The Distillery

Bowmore
Bowmore Distillery, founded by David Simpson in 1779 on the shores of Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay, is recognized as one of the oldest working distilleries on Islay and among the earliest malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Renowned for its dedication to traditional production methods, Bowmore still malts a portion of its barley on heritage malting floors and uses its own malt kilns—a practice that contributes to its distinct Islay single malt character. Actively participating in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music, Bowmore offers special bottlings during this vibrant celebration, further cementing its reputation among whisky enthusiasts. Popular official releases include the Bowmore 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old, and 25 Year Old, each showcasing the distillery’s hallmark fusion of peat smoke and maritime influence that has made Bowmore an essential name in Scotch whisky history.
