Talisker 10 Year (Second Take)


Boy, do I love Talisker. This is easily one of my top three Scotches, ever. I last reviewed this over three years ago, and it was LONG overdue for a return look.

Bowmore 15 Year 'The Darkest'


When I think of "sherried Islay Scotch," this is definitely not the first, second, or third bottle that comes to my mind. I've long wanted to try this 15-year-old Bowmore offering - the standard 12-year expression aged an additional three years in Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 43% ABV. The price is a little prohibitive - hovering between $75 and 90 depending on what shop you are frequenting - but I happened upon a good sale and splurged. 

This seems to be surprisingly divisive.
