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 lovely medium peated dram for a winters evening
Smooth and Fruity pleasing to the palate
As someone who enjoys other flavour in whisky than simply peat I really enjoyed it. A deep and rich whisky with plenty of peat and fruit notes. Quite unique actually.
Drinking Scotch is like Art. You may not know what the experts and connisseurs think, but know what? I don't care, I like it and one of my favorite evening pastimes. Great Scotch.
A great value standard Islay malt. It lacks finesse and complexity, but for the price it is a reasonable buy. It has been discounted in the UK recently so there are good buying opportunities.
