Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Displays the characteristic Bowmore qualities of smoke and maritime notes. Complexity and distinctiveness. B+/A-

Chris

My first impression was that the sherry was not well integrated and almost seemed artificial. However, as I polished off the bottle over the course of a few weeks, I grew to like this whiskey immensely.

Mostly peat in the nose, but on the palate it's hot, but the peat and sherry are both prominent and very well-balanced. Not many secondary flavors, but quite enjoyable.

Andy

n: Fart in an old tin can. Or perhaps an old fart holding a tin can. Either way...

p: Nice and briney. Great. Caramel and butterscotch up front with a very spicy tang. Finish goes a little stale.

B/B+. Goes B due to nose.
