In our opinion: Bowmore is an obvious blue chip and the malts that were distilled in the 1950’s, 1960’s and early 1970’s are all quite superb (ah, the mango!) but a possible change of distillation regime around the end of the 1970’s or early 1980’s until the early 1990’s (it seems) has changed the malt’s profile quite a lot, putting off quite some whisky lovers because of ‘new’ perfumy smells and flavours (lavender, geranium, heady violets) and a loss of phenolic/peaty components. That particular profile could be found in several bottlings, depending on cask selection we guess. Now, we could try many younger Bowmores distilled from, say 1990-1993 on, that were absolutely excellent, closer to the older versions (Bowmore 12 yo ‘dumpy golden label’ for instance), very clean, superbly sharp and phenolic again, which was very good news to us. Except for a few expressions, we think Bowmore is now back in its full glory, which can only please all aficionados. – Oct 30, 2007
What the pros had to say: coming soon...
MM Distillery profile:
The Bowmore distillery on Islay was built in 1779, at least that's the claim made by their marketeers. This would make Bowmore one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland. However, the records from this early period are often relatively vague, so when the first Bowmore was actually distilled is hard to determine with 100% accuracy.... More on Malt Madness.
