Bowmore
Bowmore 12 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“I know whisky is subjective but I struggle to understand how the dreadful Old Pulteney or Glenlivet 12 can average 4.5 stars and this 3.5. For me this is streets ahead. Not as strong as Ardbeg or Laphroig for smoke and peat but certainly has its own distinctiveness for an Islay. Often can be snapped up for £26 this a must have. Giving it 5 stars just to level up some of the previous reviews.”

Description
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.

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.
