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.
A well rounded Islay whisky: a bit smokey, a bit medicinal, but doesn't really have a prominent character of its own. Nice to drink.
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
Just had a glass of bowmore 12 year old waste of 26 pounds at tesco definitely wouldn't recommend it
I find this better then laphroaig 10. Ardbeg 10 is still better than both.
Not very good
