 Favorite Scotch Single Malt Whiskies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
Few Lowland malts age well beyond their teens as the lightness of the whisky tends to be overpowered by the oak and cedar notes that emerge from the cask.
Lowland malts tend to have a distinctive lightness and oftentimes a "toasted marshmallow" quality, and Highland malts tend to be recognized for their fruity, flowery, or sherry characteristics.
I'll probably have a taste of these and several other whiskies, but I wanted to choose a single malt that was readily accessible, affordable (at least not outrageously expensive), and one that signified the best of what is happening in the world of whisky at the end of the century.

 Malt Maniacs - Interview with Derek Gilchrist / Laphroaig JOLT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
We think that this is the reason our Bowmore finishes have shone out from some of the competitors who we know finish their products for much lesser periods - and achieve their own results.
Single malt experts might very well argue that, objectively speaking, the 15 ODB (or the 15 OMC for that matter) are 'better' whiskies because they are more balanced and refined.
One of the difficult parts of tasting malts is giving the nose enough time to develop, but my wait has been rewarded as the malt and hay have begun to emerge.

 Bowmore Review
Although heavily peated by most standards, Bowmore is lighter than the big peaty malts on the south coast of Islay, and is a little fresher with leafy notes and ozone character imparted by the westerly winds.
The Bowmore malts are certainly some of the most complex with so many different flavour characteristics that even the most experienced tasters can have difficulty unravelling their charms.
Bowmore is a little softer than the malts from the southern Islay distilleries with less peat and a little more sweatness.
