Whisky Wednesday Reviews Bowmore 18YO Feis Ile 51.8% – Scotch Whisky News
When something of this calibre is released, I like to try my hardest to get one. Second time was a charm with this one!
Cask strength Bowmore is a truly remarkable thing. Yeah, it’s just a liquid…I get that. But for whisky drinkers, admirers, just fans as a whole, cask strength Bowmore is the highest of the high. I’ve never been disappointed by any official or independent bottlings of the stuff.
Released for Feis Ile 2021, this 18YO is packed with chocolate orange, pine, soft smoke, a huge finish and many reminders of how remarkable Bowmore can be. It’s overshadowed by other Islay distilleries who may release bigger, more powerful versions of their whiskies on a regualr basis. But when Bowmore do it, they hit all of the right notes. Exceptional.
