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.
What a lovely dram she is absolutely bang on the Button for a beginners whiskey as we know we Whiskey drinkers know we all have to work a little to enjoy the whiskey as a drink itself if you ar dipping your toe into the world of whiskey then this is a very fine malt tae get ye started on this amazing journey enjoy bye an open fire and yer good tae go
A great whisky for a the non peat lovers to explore a balanced rounded Scotch. It suits some occasions perfectly.
I laugh at some reviews. A different meal or the amount left in a bottle can effect the taste of any whiskey. I opened this bottle tonight and it's my new favourite over lagavulin 16 and Laphroaig 10. Its just the right amount of peat. It is light bodied and slippery. Lovely after taste.
I am a very olde fart. Third generation Canadian. Grandfather was the first born here in 1885. We hail from Scotland. I don't care what the snobs say, this is my uisge-beatha. Give me a dram, a piper and I am almost home...
Quite thin and lacks character. Speyburn, which is less than half the price in the US, is comparable to this $50+ whiskey.
