Description
Founded 1980 in Genoa, by Entrepeneur Pepi Mongiarino, Moon Imports has always been a highly regarded importer of fine spirits. Only two years after the company’s founding, in 1982, Mongiardino bottled his first whisky, a series titled “Half Moon”. Featuring seven expressions from the well known Distilleries Macallan, Glenlivet, Glen Moray, Tamnavulin and Glen Grant, this series made a great start to Mongiardino’s reputation for exceptional bottlings. In the late 80s Moon Imports became the official distributor for the Islay Distillery, Bruichladdich and later Tamnavulin and Tullibardine. To this day, Moon Import bottlings are highly sought after by collectors far and wide.
Moon Imports released two "The Birds" series, the first in 1987 and the second in 1990. This vintage Bowmore is part of the second release.
The artwork on these bottles is from an 18th-century German Encyclopedia that Mongiarino had found. This book is seen as one of the most influential reference pieces, first published in 1796 as Brockhaus' Konversations-Lexikon.
Distilled at the Bowmore Distillery in 1974, this single malt was matured in a hogshead and produced 600 bottles at 43% ABV.
