A truly striking encapsulation of time, with over half a century of craftsmanship, quality and character embedded in its creation and story, Bowmore® Onyx is a hand blown black glass vessel, containing 1.4litres of ultra-rare whisky. Inspired by the incredible terroir of Bowmore's island home, specifically the distinctive black rock, or bogha mor, from which it is believed the name Bowmore is derived, this one-off rare masterpiece was highly sought after with bidders keen to add it to their collection.
Proceeds from The Distillers One of One auction will benefit The Youth Action Fund, which has been created by The Distillers’ Charity focusing on supporting disadvantaged young people in Scotland, transforming their life chances and empowering them to create positive change in their lives and communities. Working with charity partners who offer education and training programmes, the fund will provide young people with opportunities to develop life skills, discover their values and be work-ready.
Earlier this year, the Islay distillery unveiled the Bowmore Legacy project to support employability, training and housing needs of Bowmore’s young people, enabling a range of vital outcomes from affordable and supported housing to key employment skills for young people with barriers to employment. The key goal of the Bowmore Legacy is to futureproof the island’s distilling industry for tomorrow by investing in young people’s needs today.
