Default Bowmore Celebrating 40 years of success 1966-2006

Don't know this bottle either. It is always helpful to supply all information on the label. This sounds to me to be a CELEBRATORY bottling for a 40 year milestone of some sort the way the Forum comment / question is worded, not a 40-Year-Old Bowmore. The reason I say this without knowing any information from the label or who bottled it is because it seems odd that a single hogshead cask would yield 200 bottles from a hogshead that has slept for 40 years. The bottle yield should be much less at 2% evaporation per year. Morrison / Bowmore Company was founded before 1966.

Can you provide pictures or label information?
