Finish: After
an amazing journey on the nose and palate, you’re certainly not short changed

Summary: Without
doubt this is a bountiful and beautifully balanced belter from Bowmore. The
only thing that’s ever so slightly hard to swallow about their latest release is its
price. Retailing for a rrp of £380, there’s certainly a worthy debate to be had about
its bang for buck ratio, but hey that’s for another day.
