I saw Bowmore 12yr old on offer, its awful, what happened it used to be a decent dram, this has almost no nose and a very Ethanol taste, not nice at all.

Bowmore have gone backwards. I've got a bottle of 12 open and I agree.
edit - the 40% abv doesn't help.

A lot of mainstream whisky going backwards in terms of quality these days, no different to any other food or drink manufacturer mind. Everyone's in it for profit these days

It's the 12, my second bottle cos I like it, I get sherbet
Also got the 10, I find them really easy to drink.
Even the flippers.

aye do find Glengoyne 10 and 12 nice easy sippers and cracking value
OB Bowmore has been poor for a long time. There are some splendid IB bottles around, however.
A Lowland lineup for me this evening.

Bunna 12 is always mentioned
TBF if you don't like it you don't like whisky - stick to gin.

Only recently tried Tobermory and I love it. Have a bottle of the 12 yo port pipe but haven't opened it yet

Compass Box don't do any poor whiskies for me.
I’d probably add Kilkerran 12yo too. Similar price point and lower abv than the 8yo.
I really disliked the Spaniard but otherwise agree.

I stayed a night in a B&B in Lairg last summer, they put a 1/4 bottle of the Balblair in each room, I'm not sure how many nights would get you a 25 yr old

Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old
Bunnahabhain distillery was founded in 1881 as Islay’s most Northerly distillery. It is one of the lightest Islay whiskies, easy on the smoke with a reputation for being smooth and inviting. There's a clear coastal influence, however, as it is a product of the Queen of the Hebrides after all...

sometimes goes as low as £30 on Amazon which is a steal

Got my first Tobermory from the Co-op opposite the distillery, it was cheaper than the distillery shop
I saw that Spar in the North of Scotland had it a year or 2 ago I bought a few

Quite often the case that distilleries are the most expensive place to buy bottles. Saw a review on Amazon once from a fella who lives within walking distance of the Glenfarclas distillery, however he orders it from Amazon in Germany as it works out a lot cheaper the more he buys
