Tasted at Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting # 215 - Fake Feis Ile 2026. This is an "old school" Bowmore, distilled in 1991 at Bowmore and bottled in 2004 by independent bottler, Hart Brothers. To be fair, it's possible that the tasting notes could have been off, because the cork was broken, and the whisky may have oxidized.
