Bowmore 1965

52-Year-Old

About

The last release from the Bowmore 50-Year-Old Vault series collection, the Bowmore 1965 52-Year-Old is one of the rarest expressions produced by the distillery in the past decade.

Distilled in 1965 and released in 2017, this exceptional limited edition has matured for more than half a century in a single oloroso sherry cask below sea level in Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults. With only 232 bottles ever created, each bottle is serially numbered and elegantly housed in a stunning Scottish oak cabinet.

This the third oldest age statement release from the Bowmore distillery, and one of the first to go through the heated stills installed in 1965.

THE DISTILLERY

The Genesis of Whisky Collecting

Having operated for over 240 years, Bowmore is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay.

With a history dating back to 1779, Bowmore takes the crown as the oldest licensed distillery on the island of Islay and the second oldest in Scotland. The bottles produced during the Stanley P. Morrison era, in the 1950s and 1960s, are regarded as the representation of a golden age for Bowmore and have become prized possessions among collectors.

After the distillery was acquired by Suntory in 1994, there has been a focus on elevating the quality of its releases and positioning Bowmore as a premium brand while staying true to its original processes.

In 2023, a one-of-one bottle of 55 Year-Old Bowmore STAC sold for nearly $700k at auction, marking a record for the distillery.

FAQs

Why invest in collectible assets?

Crowdfunding allows investors to own shares in rare and high-value collectible assets that they are passionate about. This differs from purchasing collectibles outright. With Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merch. You are buying fractional ownership in valuable collectibles, giving you the opportunity to benefit as their value appreciates over time.

What types of securities can I buy on this site?

The majority of offerings are common stock, though some companies may raise capital through convertible note, debt, and revenue share.

How much can I invest?

Investors other than accredited investors are limited in the amounts they are allowed to invest in all Regulation Crowdfunding offerings (on this site and elsewhere) over the course of a 12-month period: If either of an investor’s annual income or net worth is less than $124,000, then the investor’s investment limit $2,500, or 5 percent of the greater of the investor’s annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If both an investor’s annual income and net worth are $124,000 or higher, then the investor’s limit is 10 percent of the greater of their annual income or net worth, or $124,000 whichever is greater. Accredited investors are not limited in the amount they can invest.

How do I calculate my net worth?

Calculating net worth involves adding up all your assets and subtracting all your liabilities. The resulting sum is your net worth.

What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?

We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.

Who can invest in a Regulation CF Offering?

Individuals over 18 years of age can invest. Currently however, Canadian citizens are not able to invest in Regulation CF offerings.

Equity crowdfunding investments in private placements, and start-up investments in particular, are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest in start-ups. Companies seeking startup investments through equity crowdfunding tend to be in earlier stages of development and their business model, products and services may not yet be fully developed, operational or tested in the public marketplace.

There is no guarantee that the stated valuation and other terms are accurate or in agreement with the market or industry valuations. Additionally, investors may receive illiquid and/or restricted stock that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. In the most sensible investment strategy for start-up investing, start-ups should only be part of your overall investment portfolio.

Further, the start-up portion of your portfolio may include a balanced portfolio of different start-ups. Investments in startups are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for the long term (at least 5-7 years) should not invest.
