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.
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.
Lovely and rounded, honeyed even, initially. Vanilla, perfumed smoke and coastal elements develop. Dark Peat. Blossom, oily sweetness.
Smoky and long. Sea spray, dry grass, a touch of ash and citrus.
Classic stuff and the heart of the Bowmore range. Smoky, fruity, coastal, delicious.
Really good Isley - lots of depth, smoke and peat. Daily drinker for sure!
Very weird tasting single malt. I feel like I just tried to chew burned rubber soaked in iodine, seriously! Very unique and unforgettable experience, in a negative way. Won't buy this again
A staple in the cabinet. Can be enjoyed by those who are not peat fans. Has a fantastic maritime taste. Sea spray, honey and vanilla with a small peat heat finish. Would definitely recommend but would value the whisky at £25.
Nice beginning and nice finish. No overwhelming smoke or iodine. Long finish. At 40%, a bit thin so avoid water.
Before drinking this whisky, I didn't really like whisky. Now, I do !!
