for me the two best price/quality whiskies made. I bought my first Lagavulin 16 and Macallan 25 in 1992. I paid about $60 and $160, respectively. Now they are 80 and 1400 ....These two are the most of my favourites so far.
Neither good nor bad, but Bowmore is one of the stranger Islay scotches I’ve tried. Such a mellow taste. Very underrated. Not a killer like some of the quintessential Islay offerings, but absolutely worth having in the lineupI tend to favor the more balanced malts like that. Highland Park (before all the crazy no age statements) is one of my favorites for that reason. Not too sweet, not too much peat, not too much smoke. Bowmore is another one that gets overshadowed but puts out well balanced malts.
I thought the peat was the barley drying as well. But yeah it is not a peated Islay. Jim Murray comments it can have a Cadbury’s fruit and nut bar flavor which I definitely noticed. Not bad whisky at all but not for peat addicts. I like the 18 which isn’t too crazily priced.
