Bowmore 15 Year Old / Mariner

This is the first bottle of single malt whisky I ever purchased (had been mooching off my friends until then) and I have never had a better whisky since then. Have tried various other Bowmores, but the Mariner is the best! Smokey, peaty, yet softer than the younger ones. An incredible whisky.

wow, just bought this on the airport. this whisky is absolutely fabulous. smokey but not too much. peat and toffee. very round and mellow.

Open the bottle and let it breathe a moment. The nose gives indications of smoke, peat, sweet apples and toffee and you believe you are in for a treat. Then you taste the copper gold liquid and you come crashing down to earth, a very good scotch but not an exceptional one.

Having tried various malts this is my number one choice, smooth, complex, peaty (but not overly so) and so right with a dash of water. A good excuse to buy duty free at the aiport!

My epiphany Scotch. Like a walk on the beach, with salt ,seaweed, and tons of peat. Little to none of that "Malty sweetness". I can't believe this Scotch is no longer available in 5ths. Highly recommend the liter bottling to those who enjoy Islay.

Very Smokey and peaty only for people who like those flavous as it is very strong, not for the begginer.
