I couldn't find it on the wesite. What's the product number? What is the ABV?

Based on my experience with Bowmore (except the LAIMRIG), I would be hesitant to pull the trigger.

@Nozinan LCBO # is 395574 I really enjoyed the 18 year old. It did have a sharpness it, but not as much as their younger years. I'm just wondering if bourbon matured has a greater impact on the flavours than bourbon finished?

My take is that bourbon cask matured means nothing special. most Scotch is bourbon cask matured unless it says otherwise (sherry, etc...).

This is a young whisky, most likely (hence NAS to disguise this), and it is bottled at 40%.

I would probably even choose diet pepsi (ugh) over a glass of this.

I am fond of Bowmore, and I got to say. This expression doesn't seem to be of interest. NAS with standard ABV.

Like the Bowmore Small Batch. What's that all about? 40% and NAS. If I had a Small Batch I'd certainly make the ABV higher to highlight the small selection of casks.

I have to admit that I really liked the bowmore enigma when I sampled it sooner time ago.

I bought one not the greatest dram very weak and thin. It is slightly peaty with a vanilla taste as well.
