Experience by ANBL in downtown Moncton, N.B. is home to a truly extraordinary gift for whisky enthusiasts – the Bowmore Prestige 1969. Priced at a whopping $55,000, this rare single malt Scottish whisky is a collector’s dream come true.
Store manager Alexandre Davidson explains that only 339 bottles of this exquisite whisky were ever produced, with just a handful remaining in Canada. Describing it as more of a work of art than a beverage, Davidson emphasizes that the Bowmore Prestige 1969 is a solid investment that will only increase in value over time.
The 700ml bottle of Bowmore Prestige 1969 is described on the store’s website as an ‘enigma of flavors’ with a taste that is ‘almost undefinable.’ To add to its allure, each bottle comes with its own pair of white gloves, emphasizing the luxury and exclusivity of this product.
What sets the Bowmore Prestige 1969 apart from other whiskies is its aging process. This particular scotch was aged in a cask for an impressive 50 years, resulting in a significant amount of evaporation, known in the industry as the ‘angel’s share.’ This rarity and aging process contribute to the whisky’s high value and exceptional quality.
Despite its hefty price tag, the Bowmore Prestige 1969 has garnered interest from discerning customers. Davidson recalls selling a similar product for $49,000 about a year ago, highlighting the demand for premium spirits among collectors and connoisseurs.
While the Bowmore Prestige 1969 is securely stored under lock and key at the Experience by ANBL store, customers like Yannick Boucher are intrigued by the opportunity to taste such a rare and expensive whisky. Boucher, who was surprised to learn about the $55,000 bottle, expressed interest in experiencing this luxury spirit firsthand.
For those considering making the splurge on the Bowmore Prestige 1969, Davidson assures potential buyers that the price includes HST, making it a straightforward transaction. With its exclusivity, exceptional quality, and potential for appreciation in value, the Bowmore Prestige 1969 represents the ultimate gift for whisky aficionados looking to indulge in a truly exceptional drinking experience.
