Mixed reviews all over the internet, so I'm intrigued to see what I think of it when I have my first dram this evening. |

A couple of drams of Bowmore Small Batch for me tonight.
First dram neat, second with a dash of water to try to temp more flavour out.

Has anyone on here tried one?

Which bottle of single malt has taken you the longest amount of time to finish?

I'm now about a third of the way through my Aberfeldy 12 and two thirds of the way through my Dalwhinnie 15.
