Cannot find much info about this but my local Morrisons (Morley) have it on sale at £24.
Is this worth picking up? I have not posted it in the bargains section as I am unsure if it is a bargain or not. |

I reviewed it last year when it was released, see here:

Certainly worth a try if it is on offer for £24, that is if the tasting notes appeal to you.

| Bowmore Small Batch Reserve isnt a big in your face peaty whisky but a very pleasant lightly peated expression of Bowmore. I personally enjoyed it very much. I didnt realise Morrisons sold it, i will pop in this evening and see if it is still on offer. |
