  • Bowmore Legend New Label - Another Great Value

    By rwbenjey on 24th Jul 20102010-07-24T04:26:00

    This scotch has an approachable nose, smooth, velvety body, and convincing pallet. The the most notable part? The price tag. NOTE: Don't add too much water; a small amount adds to the smoothness.

  • SMWS 3.158 - Counterpoint and cadenza - Just peachy!

    By Piero on 15th Jun 20102010-06-15T21:37:00

    I approached this one with slightly less excitement than I usually do with an SMWS bottling – I haven't been overwhelmed by the Bowmore whisky I've tried in the past. When it comes to Islay I love Ardbeg… read more

  • Bowmore 12 Year old - Bowmore and more and more

    By OJK on 7th Jun 20102010-06-07T19:40:00

    Nose, Taste, Finish and Balance are graded out of 2.5 each. Nose: There is the unmistakeably Islay hit of smoked eel, seaweed and medicine, however unlike some of Bowmore's famous Islay cousins such as… read more

  • Bowmore Dawn Port Wood Finish - Peat for the sweet tooth

    By markjedi1 on 23rd Mar 20102010-03-23T19:00:00

    This is another cask strength Bowmore, this time with a finish on port pipes. It gives the dram a wonderful dark color. It takes a while for the legs to appear in the glass, but that's not really a big… read more

  • Bowmore Darkest Sherry Cask Finish - Light at the end of the tunnel

    By markjedi1 on 23rd Mar 20102010-03-23T18:53:00

    This pale gold dram is very creamy and the legs in the glass are stunning. A good sign. The nose is deliciously complex. After the initial peat is a whole scala of dark fruits (berries, prumes), a touch… read more

  • Bowmore Dusk Bordeaux Wine Cask Finish - The Claret Experiment

    By markjedi1 on 23rd Mar 20102010-03-23T18:48:00

    This cask strength Bowmore got a Bordeaux wine finish, giving it a somewhat red sheen in the glass. It's only slighty peaty and reminds me somehow of bacon. The smoked meat dominates the nose and the… read more

  • Bowmore Legend New Label - Fairy Tale

    By markjedi1 on 23rd Mar 20102010-03-23T18:42:00

    This Bowmore Legend did not get an age stetement, but the resounding name 'Legend' makes your expectations rise. But to no avail, I'm afraid. You would expect some peat, obviously, cause this is Islay… read more

  • Bowmore 12 Year old Enigma - I want more... Bowmore!

    By markjedi1 on 2nd Mar 20102010-03-02T22:14:00

    Bowmore is the captial of Islay, but it's not at all a big place. The distillery, however, is not only the largest on the island, but also the oldest, founded in 1779. The spirit is used for the blends… read more
