Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) Single Malt – 12 Year Old (Black Ceramic Flagon, 1980s)
£199.00
A Maritime Souvenir from the Morrison Bowmore Era
This unique ceramic flagon was sold exclusively on board the legendary Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) ocean liner during the 1980s. It was bottled by Beinn Bhuidhe Holdings Ltd, a subsidiary of the famous Morrison Bowmore group.
While the distillery is not explicitly stated on the label, it is widely accepted by collectors that the liquid inside is a Bowmore (or possibly Glen Garioch) from the 1970s/80s. A key indicator of its vintage is the unusual alcohol strength of 48.6% (which corresponds to the old British “85 Proof”) and the 75cl volume (which predates the 1991 standardisation).
It is presented in a maritime-themed presentation box with a gold foil outline of the ship on the inner lid.
Tasting Profile (Likely Bowmore Style):
-
Nose: Coastal brine, soft peat smoke, and old leather.
-
Palate: Rich and oily (due to the high strength). Notes of dark chocolate, sea salt, and green fruit.
-
Finish: Long, warming, and slightly smoky.
