I found Bowmore early in my scotch quest and fell in love with them. So much so I ended up buying a lot of their older, pricier options. When I go back and try them now I'm a little disappointed in their lack of refinement and overall flavor profile, but they'll always have a place at my bar because they are the ones that got me on the scotch whisky path. Great review, sir. Cheers.

Yes, I actually like to try whiskies where there seems to be varying reviews, sometimes you find a flavor palate that just suits you. Mind you, if most of the reviews are unfavorable then I take pause

I hear that this one in particular has some sulfuric properties, and that would be a first for me. Now that I know it doesn't seem to be off putting to me as to some others, I won't be afraid of that note appearing in the review.

I hear ya Mashtun - I was just reading a guy's review on some of my favorite Islays, and he gave them two and three stars. I still follow him though because I appreciate sherries as he does, so you never know what kind of other palate info you need.

I didn't enjoy this whisky, but I did enjoy your review.
