They were decent prices for their respective bottlings.


Hmmm...what to get...

All three?

Balvenie 12
Bowmore Legend
Powers (yeah, I know... but I gotta balance the books somehow.)

How is the Bowmore Legend?

I think of it as the poor man's Lagavulin. Not as expressive, but a nice peaty dram for the budget minded.

Have you compared it with anything else of the Bowmore line?

Just the 12 yo, which is a bit more complex and a little sweeter. Now that I think of it, I should explore the Bowmore line a bit more. I've always gone to the Legend because it's such a great value.
