    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.

    Does not taste like 12 YO

    Too strong, notes does not come out, I think I wasted my money buying 2 X 75 cl. Somehow i feel 12 YO does not taste like this

    Didn't like it

    Just had a glass of bowmore 12 year old waste of 26 pounds at tesco definitely wouldn't recommend it

    Master of Malt Customer Jun 18, 2021

    Very good

    I find this better then laphroaig 10. Ardbeg 10 is still better than both.

    Not very good

    Not my taste - if you like smokiness you will probably like.

    Sorry not for me tcp comes to mind There is a chemical kind of after taste to me. Im not into smoky whisky tried this based on some good reviews to try something new. There are definately vanilla, honey and other nice elements but they are overpowered by the smokiness and chemical taste I got, for me anyway.
