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.

Welcome to this weeks episode of the show in which I’ll be reviewing the latest release in the Moment series, the Brukswhisky DLX along with a few Moment bottlings from the past. I hope you enjoy it!

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 393: Secret Highland 10 Year Old 2010 Liquid Art

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries an undisclosed Highlander. The boys and girls from Belgian bottler Liquid Art have selected their next cask and this time it is one from the Highlands. And while they are not at liberty to divulge whence it came, Mark can tell you that the Brora Golf Club is just a 20 minute stroll away from the warehouse where this cask was laid down.

This range of bottles has a serious reputation to uphold. Affordable, cask strength, natural colour, non-chill filtered, limited release…but available.

Took me a while to find one of these, but here it is. I feel there is a small flaw in this whisky, the tinniest of tiny issues. That issue may be down to me personally and my lack of wine knowledge. Regardless, this is still a very, very good bottle of Glen Scotia. Something really worth tracking down and opening.
