The Bowmore was pretty good. I've not tried any other Bowmores, but the small batch reserve was quite tasty. Booznik is right - it's supposed to be light compared with other Bowmores, but all things are relative. It had plenty of peaty smoky flavour which I like, and definitely makes me want to try another Bowmore. For me personally I still prefer Laphroigh and Talisker, but at a discounted price will buy the small batch reserve again for sure.

I'd recommend avoiding the base-line label, Legend. It's very young stuff, and not a great example of what Bowmore is capable of. The 12yr old is more like it.

Islay secret revealed. Whisky goes in top. Rumor has it that Ardbeg has one that runs on high-octane racing fuel.

I had to trade to get my hands on that.

Gawdayam, son.


Wait, tell me got the decoder ring?

All kidding aside, you need to escape to Russia. I think oettinger can help with this stealing of 'Murrican secrets.

But don't listen to this damned Drunkard Injun. Just crowing like a rooster, no ham meant t'all

I dunno, France is suddenly looking better.

I've got my disguise ready. They'll never spot the Scotch sandwich in their midst. As long as I stay mute as a mime, anyway.

There is one pakistani almost drinking himself to death to show up in the stats only to find out it was bourbon all the time.
Drink!
