Bowmore reviews

QV.ID, a Belgian retailer, already worked it’s way into the spotlight with prior bottlings under their own label. The first was a 27 Year Old Caol Ila (I’ll be tasting that one very soon), the second a…

This is the 20th Bowmore already (thus being inadvertently the third most sipped whisky with BenRiach in close third place and – of course – Auchentoshan in the lead). Anyway, I’m pouring myself a sample…

The Whisky Agency, a bottler from Limburg (Germany), where the famous Whisky Fair takes place every year (which I really need to go and visit sooner rather than later), has several series on the market…
