Comments:
This Bowmore has been discontinued and replaced with a new range, so this is something of a last chance to taste it. Quite a chemical nose, with an interesting fishy hint somewhere. Also very chemical in the mouth, with some slight whiffs of sherry relieving it. Decent whisky, but difficult to get to know I suppose.
Verdict:
Not bad.
