Bowmore 12 Scotch Whisky

Bowmore 12 Scotch Whisky

A good whisky, full stop. However, it took me a good eighteen years to fully appreciate it.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Sure, it’s a misfit of a scotch whisky, but it’s one I think everybody should try, and many will fall in love with it.

Rock Oyster Blended Scotch

A blend of malt whiskies that becomes much more than the sum of its parts. Distinctive and delicious!

Sometimes you find yourself in the mood for a quiet, comforting dram. Other times you want a monster to stomp all over you. This is not a quiet, comforting dram.  Overall Rating: ★★★

Bowmore 15 Darkest

Bowmore 15 Darkest

There's a lot about the Bowmore 15 "Darkest" that's fairly criticized for being inauthentic. However, I think it tastes great, so I'm conveniently looking the other way.  Overall Rating: ★★☆

Though the joke might be wearing thin, Ron Swanson most definitely isn't wrong on this one. It's a whisky that manages to be refined in spite of how ubiquitous it is in the world.
