Bowmore has teamed up with Frank Quitely, a Scottish comic book artist, to revive the No Corners To Hide tale that also inspired their Devil's Cask series.
A 17yo Bowmore usually means good things if its and independent bottlings. It would be great if the distillery was able to capture some of that Bowmore magic in an official release.
I'm expecting a wonderful marriage between Islay and the tropics here. Let's hope that's what I get from this Bowmore from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
Serge Valentin, Ruben Luyten and Johan van Samang, three (former) whisky bloggers I immensely respect, all gave this Bowmore 1996 from The Whisky Agency high scores and even higher praise. I hope it can live up to that.
