    Bowmore 12 Year Old

    The heart of the Bowmore range, the 12 year old exhibits some beautiful coastal notes with a gentle peat, it is the balance that the floral element presents that makes this a great entry bottling for Bowmore.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Coastal smoke and ash soon make way for bergamot, orange zest, lemon slices and some hay before becoming rather floral, heather smoke now competing with the ash.

    Palate

    Lovely and rounded, honeyed even, initially. Vanilla, perfumed smoke and coastal elements develop. Dark Peat. Blossom, oily sweetness.

    Finish

    Smoky and long. Sea spray, dry grass, a touch of ash and citrus.

    Overall

    Classic stuff and the heart of the Bowmore range. Smoky, fruity, coastal, delicious.

    Smokey Wood

    Well to be honest, I could only smell smoke, wood and vanilla, taste notes again woody and more smoke,. Very mellow and smooth. Only after taste I got was Smokey wood.

    Absolutely outstanding single malt whiskey, at every level, exceptional ? an award winning whiskey in my opinion

    Where is the smoke?

    I have tried a lot of Bowmore many years ago ( Enigma, Legend, 15 years old Mariner, cask strength etc.) They were ALL fantastic, VERY peaty and maritim. First I have bought a bottle of Bowmore 12 years old in 2011 . It was total different to the actual bottle of Bowmore 12. It had much more smoke. Now the smoke notes are almost gone. This whisky is now much sweeter , more a Speysider. Don`t get me wrong, this is not a bad whisky at all, but if I want a peated whisky, then I would buy Caol Ila 12, Ardbeg 10 or Laphroaig 10 etc. After Talisker 10 ( the same story ) it is another huge disappointment for me

    Nope!

    Nope! I perservered with this for as long as i could and tipped about a third of bottle down the sink. I am sure bowmore can make good whisky, but this just isn't.

    Master of Malt Customer Sep 1, 2022

    Very good nice smoked flavour just great

    Very good I drunk the beat whisky is the world and this one is far better than some that I spend £500 for a bottle , it is a smoked whisky if you don’t understand it is don’t like you can try and may like may not . But I loved . My double dose with a small splash of water . Is what I need in the end of the day and for that price come on is a bargain.
