It's a damned shame because the nose was so nice. It's likely that this was some of the better stuff coming out of Bowmore during the '80s and even this is very very difficult.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-50700612295752007502014-04-26T15:11:11.035-04:002014-04-26T15:11:11.035-04:00I just posted a review of this here,t to life thre...I just posted <a href="http://www.myannoyingopinions.com/2013/11/15/bowmore-21-1982-prime-malt/" rel="nofollow">a review of this here,t</a> to life threatening effect.Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-85332547378240959742013-10-29T14:03:19.965-04:002013-10-29T14:03:19.965-04:00Wow, Massachusetts beats Southern California again...Wow, Massachusetts beats Southern California again.

Here are some sites with their earlier bottles:<br />http://www.lionswhisky.com/whisky/laphroaig_12yo_prime_malt_selection_no_1.php<br />http://www.lionswhisky.com/whisky/glen_grant_21_years_old_86_proof_prime_malt.php<br />http://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies.php?merkid=58&whiskyid=42148<br />They also had an unnamed 15yo malt.<br /><br />The actual bottler wasn't always Duncan Taylor. Munro Watson & Company seemed to do the bottling before them.<br /><br />The two theories I've heard:<br />1.) Munro Watson was once a Duncan Taylor subsidiary, or<br />2.)

There's a dearth of online opinion/info about it.<br /><br />Apparently this went for a very low price at TPS. Again, such is the reputation. I've seen lonely '80s-distilled OB Bowmores in three different corner liquor stores around here. I won't rescue them (yet), but I am curious to see how long they'll sit there.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-1916622188133576232013-10-24T15:25:13.319-04:002013-10-24T15:25:13.319-04:00TPS had it in stock until relatively recently.
