About Bowmore

Bowmore is a whisky distillery. SMWS 3.327 Bowmore 2004 17 Year Old is an age-stated bottling at 17 years old, distilled in 2004.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (2004), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Single cask

    A single-cask bottling (cask 3x327) comes from one strictly limited outturn rather than a large batch.

  • Independent bottling

    An independent bottling by smws, typically produced in far smaller numbers than an official distillery release.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
