[Closed] Bowmore Islay single malt...

Love Bowmore - assume you are drinking the 12? When it's gone (probably quite quickly) also try the Ardbeg and the Bruichladdich

lovely stuff, was used in my hip flask, run out now though 🙁 having to settle for home made sloe gin at the moment 🙂

My favourite single malt I think.

Sloe gin RD? Damned shame that! 😉

My favourite also. Drink it quickly as it doesn't keep. I like all the Islay malts except Laphroaig- tastes like cough medicine to me.

It's pretty good, far from my favourite Islay whisky though.

uponthedowns...will do! 8)

glumm...we will obviously have to investigate other Islay whiskys! 😉

Lagavulin 16 is pretty amazing imo.

Eating a really healthy leftover chicken salad with roast squash, garlic, asparagus, lettuce and parmesan. Was really imperssed with myself that I resisted the urge to fry something or drink anything alcoholic to go with it (the Leffe doesn't count, right)?

Now you've got me wanting a drop of Ardbeg to sip through the evening. MrsIATR is away on some MyersBriggs course (poor sod), so I think I'll hit the whisky.

Good inspiration - thanks!

nowt wrong with a good home made sloe gin 🙂

*reaches for the Cragganmore*

Cheers for the reminder.

RD...the only thing wrong with sloe gin is that I can drink it like pop!! 😯

i don't see the problem

aye, i'll join ye/)
no bowmore, but a nip of Highland Park and most of a bottle of quinta rubain (a glenmorangie finished in port wood casks - decisions decisions

RD...are you deliberately mis-understanding me or just being a pita? 😉

mm- quinta rubain in a glencairn tulip glass - aromatherapy

slainthe, people

Bruichladdich Infinity 2nd Edition at moment. But not drinking any at present. Very very nice though. I have a small selection to go to after that.
These being:-

Jura Superstition
Balvenie Double Wood
Highland Park
Yamazaki 10 Y.O.
Jon, Mark & Robbo's "The Smoky Peaty One"
Glenfiddich 12 Y.O.

I don't drink a lot at home, being a sad single, so my flow of Malt in as presents tends to be faster than my consumption.

Have a nice drink people.

I've a bottle of Bruichladdich Rocks on the go at the moment. Very nice it is too.

There can be only one truly magnificent malt - Caol Ila, smooth, peaty, slightly smoky and the merest hint of saltiness.

It's the best, no one can convince me otherwise. I buy litres of it every time I go through duty free as it can be difficult to find. Go out, buy some, drink it and agree with me.

Nuff said

Not in my faves list- I find all the Islay stuff a bit too medicinal.

Like bowmore, but I find the younger island malts a bit harsh, prefer the older ones, 15 years+, Just as powerfull but less harsh. Lagavullin 16 my fav, and I tried the Laphroig 15 recently, lovely.

Trivia, Laphroig was the only whiskey to get into the States during prohibition, it was declared as TCP!

just having a nip of edradour signatory vintage at the mo,
and have this to open at the weekend

Any Islay malt, but definitely Bowmore as the favourite.

Lagavulin have a distillers edition on, that truly is the drink of the Gods.

I've just sold a Laphroaig 17y/o, unopened, gutted I didn't get to try (but have sampled the 30 y/o and 15, both epic 😉

Bowmore a bit unrefined on what I tried, whereas I was instantly hooked with laphroaig!

Enjoy, Mr & Mrs FC
