SPLURGE
WHAT: Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Rating: NNNN
WHERE: Islay, Scotland
WHY: Could the reduction of cigarette smoking account for the popularity of smoky Southern barbecue? Shall we extend this culinary sublimation to the fluid world? The distillers of Islay have been kicking ash for centuries, thanks to the peat that’s burned to dry the whisky malts. The result, in the case of Bowmore 12, is a delicate (by Islay standards), delightful swig of ethereal, coal-tinged, liquid incense. Could be habit-forming.
PRICE: 750 ml/$50.90
AVAILABILITY: At most liquor stores (product #330803)
