As i am not really a collector I have a self imposed limit of 50 bottles give or take 1 or 2, but i usually stick to it.

It would take me a while to type out what i have with my typing skills which is just over 100 bottles at the moment. I do intend to drink them all eventually, I never set out to be a collector but it is starting to look like i am with the amount i am accumulating.

Hi JAB

You seem to have a taste for Morrison Bowmore whiskies (Bowmore, Auchentoshan, Glen Garioch). I just picked up a bottle of the Bowmore Enigma the other week, havent opened it yet, just got it when i had the chance as they only appear to sell this one in airports.

yea i have a contact that works there so get a nice staff discount on most of the products. have to say the nicest has to be the black bowmore.

Andy M · Master Of Malts Joined: 09 Jul 2007 Posts: 1212

Now that is a handy contact to have. I will just have to imagine what the Black Bowmore is like unless i get lucky in the lottery.

LOL i am very lucky to get a taste was through a contact at bowmore and offered me a wee dram. they have an archive of every type produced goin back to the late 50's.
also the feis ile is a nice unique taste considering they are only 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 years old

Andy if you have a spare Â£100 you could get a taste of the Black Bowmore at the Auchentoshan whisky festival at the end of August. See Johns post here:

yea that will be a good day, i know a few people that are helping out at it and is only Â£5 per ticket then Â£100 for the master class.

mmm the Archive Tasting at Auchentoshan does look tempting, this is what there website says about it

JAB · Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 6:27 pm Post subject:

i think that you get to taste all of them but i am sure the places for this are limited and will be going fast.

I will still be off on my hols on the 29th but it sounds like a good wee event. I had a young 7 year old Bowmore from Douglas Laing earlier this year which was very good for its young age, i was surprised how good it was. But i must say i have never had a poor whisky from Douglas Laing, i do rate their bottles highly.
