Berry's Own Selection Bowmore 1995
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.20% 7 A sunny malt. Quite sharp and spirity but a pleasant aromatic freshness. Could be a thirst quenching for some. Water does not cut all edges.

Berry's Own Selection Bowmore 1996
- Scotland - 46.00% 8 Judging by the colour (pale chardonnay),has obviously not gained from the cask. Has got all the phenolic spectrum but not much more,especially on the nose.

Blackadder Bowmore 1989
Single Malt - Scotland - 63.30% 7 All the elements of Bowmore, and plenty of alcohol, but extra dimension.

Bowmore 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Glad to see a Bowmore with an age rather than a brand-name.

Bowmore 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 2 Peat is integrated in oak though wood is not overwhelming. Water changes the rules, bringing peat and smoke forward.

Bowmore 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.80% 7 The nose is fantastic, like the fug in an old Scottish pub: coal fires, cigarette smoke, damp clothes. The perfume pulls the score down.

Bowmore 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 A touch of astringency that seems to be more than Islay iodine.

Bowmore 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 3 More integration but a real earthy presence. Water does not make a drastic change.

Bowmore 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.40% 9 What a start! A truly magnificent dram and for me miles ahead of the competition.

Bowmore 1990, 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.50% 7 Water smooths it down, but the rugged edge is what makes this a winner.

Bowmore 2000 (cask sample from bourbon cask)
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00% 2 Peat plays the major part in the aromatic display, with an assertive sea influence.

Bowmore Cask Strength Islay Single Malt
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.00% 7 Doesn't leap out of the glass at you, but well balanced and unthreatening.

Bowmore Claret
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00% 7 The fighter beat the boxer, but it was a wonderfully enjoyable contest.

Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00% 9 The fighter beat the boxer, but it was a wonderfully enjoyable contest.

Bowmore Darkest
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Not that dark – just tawny. Whisky in its mid teens, I would say, but from superb sherry casks.

Bowmore Darkest
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Let the flavours unfold. Enjoy the complexity.

Bowmore Dawn
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.50% 8 Wood finishes are still fun and may recruit new enthusiasts for malt. Dawn, Dusk, Voyager...this is becoming confusing. Of those three (Port, Bordeaux and Port again), Dawn seems the lightest all-roun...

Bowmore Dawn Islay Single Malt
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.00% 7 Complex and curious!

Bowmore Dusk
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 After that smoky start, becomes much more toffeeish than most Bowmores. But is this a good thing?

Bowmore Legend
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 A light, young version, at a competitive price.

Bowmore Legend
- Scotland - 40.00% 8 A well-knitted dram,although suffering from being bottled at 40%.

Bowmore Surf, 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 A light, smooth, Bowmore that might attract younger drinkers.

Bowmore Voyage
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.00% 8 Port often leaves a toffeeish note, but not in this case. Perhaps needs a bit more maturity.

Celtic Heartlands Bowmore 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.60% 8 Fresh, very drinkable. Doesn't remotely taste it's age.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.80% 8 A beautiful Islay malt in a sherry refill dressing. Rich aromatic development, great combination of strength and sweetness.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.90% 7 Some of the classic Islay elements are there, but discordant. Not well rounded.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.60% 7 The nose is more interesting than the palate. A full bodied character which has flirted a bit too long with wood. Might suit cigar palates.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 1990, 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.70% 8 Straightforward and uncompromising. Very good balance. The classic Islay outdoor dram for simple enjoyment.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 1990, 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.00% 8 Has richness and some finesse.

Dewar Rattray Bowmore 1991, 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.60% 7 Old Bowmore is fascinating: it either becomes light and tropical with no smoke or reduces into this anchovy like concentration.

Douglas Laing Bowmore 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 Bowmore is a great malt. Let's see more of it in straightforward ages.

Duncan Taylor Bowmore 22 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 62.50% 1 An almost unpeated version of Bowmore? A (too) perfect integration of peat in wood? Unusual.

Gordon & MacPhail Bowmore 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 1 Old age has completely integrated peat and smoke. Oak overpowers the marine character. A splash of water does not help.

Lombard Bowmore 1989
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 6 For a relatively young Bowmore, this seems somewhat tired.
