This relatively young Bowmore is the first outing to Isaly from the English Chester Whisky & Liqueur Company. The bourbon hogshead yielded 242 bottles of a very pale dram. Did you know, by the way, that… read more

This newest Bormore from the Italian bottler Wilson & Morgan was a gift from the nice people behind the W&M booth at the festival in Ghent. ‘We like what your write!’ they added. How nice! But that is … read more

Attended at my local liquor emporium today to replenish my stock of Laphroaig QC, happened to notice that Bowmore 12 was on special offer. Changed my mind and bought this whisky instead @$48.40 for a … read more

Bowmore 18 Year old - Worth a try
By tabarakRazvi on 22nd Apr 20132013-04-22T08:42:00

I think Bowmore is a dependable distillery with some solid expressions (Tempest Batch 2) and some not-so-solid expressions (Mariner & Enigma). And that's what makes a distillery exciting and human, in my… read more

Bowmore 15 Year old - Darkest - Taming the Temperamental
By vanPelt on 14th Apr 20132013-04-14T16:09:00

Nose: When appropriately cold, like smelling a slightly smoky and very dark chocolate candy: with wafts of toffee vanilla, cinnamon, cedar, and dark cherry. When a tad warm, like a pig on an island spit… read more

Bowmore 17 Year old - A Golden Standard
By vanPelt on 14th Apr 20132013-04-14T15:57:00

89

Nose: First light toffee, with a background of grilled pineapple. There is peat but barely perceptible even when warm. The smoke is not a theme, but used to enhance, making it extremely balanced. The… read more

By vanPelt on 14th Apr 20132013-04-14T15:44:00

86

Nose: Brown sugar and brine, raisins. Light peat evokes a beachside grill. All this with the seaweed/iodine makes me crave baked oysters. If colder: A dark sweet bread, like spice loaf. If warmer: smokey… read more

Bowmore 15 Year old - Darkest - Dark Passenger
By rigmorole on 26th Mar 20132013-03-26T07:17:00

85

Nose: The heavy sherry signature in this dram is no surprise. It wafts up from the glass like mist from the Garden of Eden, along with a more complex fruitiness belying dates, figs, and allspice. Palate… read more

Bowmore 12 Year old - One of The Usual Suspects of smoke
By Rantavahti on 12th Mar 20132013-03-12T06:33:00

88

I consider Bowmore 12 year old as one of the heavy boys when it comes to being smoky. But it is much more delicate than your usual Ardbegs or Laphroaigs. I guess it's more of an pal of Lagavulin. The … read more

On the nose, The Bowmore was rather smoky. This smoke was present on the palate as well the dram was lifted unexpectedly by delicate fingers of honey sweetness and a puff of citrus which existed almost… read more
