Bowmore Legend Of Saint Ives / First Edition

An older style label from this classic Islay malt. This is the first release of the Bowmore legends which would influence much of the distillerie's later output. 

This tin is for the Legend of St.Ives. The story goes that back in 1813, a young French soldier named St.Ives was captured by the British during the Napoleonic wars. Because of his ability to speak English he dodged execution and ended up imprisoned in Edinburgh castle. He managed to make a hot air ballon and escape, he floated to Islay.  Crashing in Lochindaal, he was rescued by the battleship The true blooded yankee.

This limited edition release of Bowmore legend carries an artists illustration of the legend depicted on the rear of the bottle.
