Hedgecutter Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 7 hours ago, The Mantis said: I got one last week. I use the forum at scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk and when it was announced people were predicting that, as Caol Ila have a history of supplying supermarkets. But so do Bowmore, and most people having tasted it are guessing Bowmore, and I’d probably agree. Whatever it is, I've got a glass of it just now (bought this afternoon) and I'm loving how silky smooth it is. Lovely stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Ben Bracken 16 is definitely* Bowmore. * not definitely but I’d bet quite a lot that it is. I consumed a lot of Bowmore between 02 & 08. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent middle-of-the-road (taste wise) party dram when you don't want folk to tank your expensive stuff, but you don't want to be seen as the guy who only dishes out the rough blends.
