Single Malt
Purchase Price: $22
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY
Rating: 8.0
A mild and young tipple that is probably the most approachable of the malts that hail from Islay, easily the most intimidating region of the spirit world's most intimidating drink. Bowmore doesn't exactly nuzzle the back of your hand like a doe at the petting zoo, but compared to swaggering peat monsters like Ardbeg and Laphroiag, it's much easier to confront head-on. A nice balance of peat, smoke, salt spray and toffee. And who among us would dare pass by its sub-$30 price tag? Bowmore is a world-class distillery and being able to buy in so cheaply is nothing to be scoffed at.
