A Dream of a Bowmore – The 1957 with 54 years of age

It is a superlative bottling in many ways: the oldest ever bottled Bowmore (54 years old), the most expensive on the shelves (100.000 Pound), only 12 bottles outturn (two of

Review: Sherriffs BOWMIST Finest West Highland Whisky

Following up on yesterday’s four Bowmore I pulled out an old whisky from the 1960ies/70ies, most probably a blend with a lot of Bowmore in it, called Bowmist (Sherriff’s version). The label actually says ‚distilled and matured at Bowmore‘, so … Weiterlesen

Review: Bowmore OB Voyage and Caperdonich 1972 Whisky-Fässle 39 y.o. Refill-Sherry

Bowmore OB ‚Voyage‘ 56% (Port Wood Finish, released 2000) Comment: This one has not been talked about recently. Of course it is winey (albeit not sweet or Port-like), but also very elegant and typical for a 1980ies Bowmore with a … Weiterlesen

Review: Bowmore – Good at Whisky, Bad at Science (Bowmore ‚Tempest‘ 2 and the Ambassador’s Special Release)

Bowmore – Back on Top Let’s have Bowmore Single Malt today, two youngsters, head-to-head. The distillery has regained a good standing among the real Islay fans because the whiskies after 1990 (with 1993 being outstanding but also atypical) have turned … Weiterlesen
