Bowmore 17, 2002-2019, Bourbon Hogshead, 53.6% – Cadenhead
Over a decade ago I visited quite a lot of whisky tastings at De Whiskykoning in Den Bosch. Even back then, when a 6 to 10 year old Bowmore from around 2000/2002 came out from bottlers like The Ultimate or … Continue reading
Distilled at an Islay Distillery, 2008-2022, 53.9%, Wu Dram Clan Community
For some distilleries there is a great vintage. For others, there seem to be nothing but great vintages. At least, if you don’t count the entire 1980s decade. Of course, with a whisky called ‘Kilarrow Parish Church Bowmore’ as a … Continue reading

Bowmore 21, PX and Oloroso casks, 51.8% – Aston Martin thingy
Sometimes whiskies just stand out for their branding. Like this series by Bowmore, with some kind of an Aston Martin tie in, and luxurious screen printed bottles… I didn’t really dive into it, as to why this tie in exists, … Continue reading

Bowmore 17, 2003-2021, Barrel 81, 57.8% – The Single Malts of Scotland
Some distilleries have great years (Caperdonich 1972, BenRiach 1976, Port Ellen 1978, Clynelish 1995, and so on). However, very few distilleries have bad years. For example, Bowmore is pretty shit if it was distilled in the 1980s, generally. An overwhelming … Continue reading

Bowmore 20, 1997-2018, Refill Sherry cask 2414, 56.3% – Adelphi
Adelphi still is a bottler that generally puts out high quality whiskies. I do think success is not as guaranteed as it was a decade ago, but they’re still way above average. Of course, prices are way above average too, … Continue reading
Bowmore Tempest II, 10yo, First Fill Bourbon casks, 56%
It’s no secret that I love Bowmore. It’s one of those distilleries that I enjoy from the young to the old releases, although most older releases are way out of my league. What I also love(d) are the series they … Continue reading
Bowmore 100 Degrees Proof, 57.1%
This ‘small batch release’, which isn’t a very small batch at all, was done in 2012 for travel retail. I managed to pick up a bottle at some point, but it’s been so long that I don’t recall where I … Continue reading
Bowmore 1996-2010, 14yo, 59.7% – Braunstein, DFDS Embassy Collection
Yet another Bowmore from the mid-nineties! Generally, as I have waxed about recently, I love these bourbon casks trips down memory lane. This one was bottled 10 years ago, by Braunstein, but the cask was chosen by people from DFDS, … Continue reading
