1 bottle per lot
BOWMORE SEA DRAGON Legend has it that the greatest Scottish warrior of all, Fionn mac Cumhaill--also known as Fingal--was walking across Islay with his two massive hounds: Bran and Sceolang. Fionn, who was possessed of supernatural powers and superhuman strength, hoisted one of the standing stones at Ardbeg and threw it halfway across the island, into the depths of Loch Indaal, for his dogs to fetch back. The splash made by the stone stirred the dark sands at the bottom of the Loch, and with them stirred from his thousand year sleep the sea dragon Kranna Dubh. Kranna surged up from the depths and swam to the shore at Bowmore to meet with Fionn in combat. A fierce battle ensued, ending with Kranna lurching back into the Loch, mortally wounded by Fionn's magical sword, Mac a' Luin, his dark blood seeping into the waters. To this day, the sea dragon's image appears on the Bowmore label. It is said that when the sun sets, Loch Indaal turns red with his blood, and that local mothers scorn their children severely if they ever catch them pitching stones into the Loch.
