Bowmore 17

I've never had the pleasure of trying it, because it's not available in Ontario, but I've heard really good things about it. I would snatch it up in a second if I was you, partially though because I'm a lover of Bowmores and secondly because of the price. I don't know how expensive the relative whiskies are in San Fran, but in Ontario I paid around $85 for my Bowmore 15 Darkest. The reviews on Connosr are really good too!

I've heard the 17 year is one of the better Bowmore bottlings. The 18 year replaced it not too long ago. I also hear the 25 year is quite good.

Tried a few bottles of Bomore now, from the Legend through to a 25 YO via the 12 YO, Darkest 15 YO, Cask Strength, Mariner 15 YO, 1992 Wine Cask 16 YO, 18 YO.

I have to say the 12 YO is a nice light everyday dram, the cask strength was a great after dinner drink but the 18 YO was superb and so far my favourite.

Have you tried the 17 though@JonMarriage

@DevD Well...no... I'm assuming that they would be similar in style, I may well be wrong but I think the 17 YO would be worth a go based on my experience with the 18 YO.
