    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.

    A Coastal Symphony of Smoky Elegance

    Bowmore 12 is a true standout, embodying the essence of the Bowmore range. In essence, Bowmore 12 is a classic, smoky, fruity, and delicious choice – a must-try for those seeking a sophisticated whisky experience. Highly recommended for its impeccable balance and complexity.

    As advertised

    Honey, mango, and smoke. Wow what a flavor profile for a scotch. I got this as a gift because I ignored it looking at the reviews here and other sites. It's something else it's just an amazing taste profile that's so smooth and yet has a lot with oban 14 has going on but in a more tropical direction with more smokiness. I bought this along with the clynelish and damn they're both good it's just the bowmore is so unique, like the oban in its taste profile that it makes it more desirable me.

    Easy to drink

    Slight smokiness and smooth easy to drink. Not sure I’d buy a bottle but I’d be happy to be poured it.

    RICHARD ROYAL Dec 9, 2023

    Very poor.

    I get almost nothing on the nose except for pepper and a faint hint of smoke. On the tongue it is anemic, with a very watered down mouth-feel, and a very short finish that leaves almost no flavour lingering in the mouth. It has caramel colouring, which is also less than desirable. I’ll likely never buy another bottle. Disappointing as I like Islay malts. I would recommend Ardbeg, or Laphroaig, or bunnahabhain which are not much more expensive for a more reasonable Islay expressio
