Is Bowmore Scotch a great scotch?



Answers:
As they said below, it's a matter of personal taste/choice. But Bowmore is a single malt Scotch, as a consequence it is much better than blended ones, and definitely superior to adjectives the other stuff they produce elsewhere and dare to call whisky/whiskey.
It's clothed, Nothing worth going out of the way for.
It is an Islay scotch, which process that it will have the savour profiles of smokey and peaty. For the price, it isn't a bad scotch, but you enjoy to like those taste to enjoy it.
Ok, from a single malt scotch drinker I can describe you that there are MANY that are WONDERFUL but as to one individual greater than another is a matter of fancy. I, for one, do not like Laphroaig at adjectives! or for that matter Talisker any!! and I have friends that prefer them over any others, so it is a issue of taste. :) soak up your scotch whatever it may be and lift a drink of that for me and smile because on the other side of the world in the USA is a being that loves single malt scotch, just not every one.
I lately finished a bottle of the 12 year old. Its okay.not one of the best I've have. Not the worst either. For the price(35US), the Glenlivet would enjoy been better. It is an Islay as others hold noted. I didnt really taste the typical Islay aroma though.
Compared to most Scotch, yes. Most is blended (grain) whisky. The better stuff is malt - preferably single (not blended) malt - and Bowmore falls into that category, so it's a lot better than most. As a single malt, I would say-so it's decent - not my predilection, but I wouldn't refuse a dram.
Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay. The signature doesn't come without an excellent reputation to wager on it up. It is a medium peated malt and almost everyone's introduction to Islay.

There are lots legendary single malts from the Bowmore Distillery, not the lowest possible of which is "Bowmore Black," a heavily sherried bottling from the 1968 vintage. Those bottles go for over $5,000 on most auction sites. Especially past single malts became popular, Bowmore be the definition of Islay.

Around the turn of the millenium, many whisky connoisseurs used the internet to spread rumors of unpromising batches of Bowmore. They collectively guessed that around the untimely eighties, Bowmore had blended some desperate casks of whisky that contained an odor of "French Whore's Perfume," commonly abbreviated FWP. Although it supposedly one and only existed in a few unusual batches, Bowmore's reputation suffered at the hand of the rumor, with family mistaking the trademark violet scent for FWP.

Regardless of FWP rumors, Bowmore's quality have been vanishing for quite a while. They hold repackaged twice in the finishing five years. Lo and behold, the most recent bottling of the twelve year old get a rave review from one of the most disillusioned Bowmore fans on the lattice recently, herald it as a step in the direction of "outmoded Bowmore."

The truth is that most single malts have be waning within quality since the constraint has increased so much, but it looks close to Bowmore is making a turn for the better recently. Pick up the most modern bottling of the twelve year old and see what it's resembling.
