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 age stated Islay whisky smoke ash and citrus notes recommended
Excellent whisky, didn't really get the zest but dark chocolate, ash, smoke, salt, iodine.... Classic Bowmore
Two firsts. I went in Wigan Central. A pub under the railway arches in Wigan. Excellent beers, friendly atmosphere, typical of Wigan. I ordered Bowmore 12. Pleasantly surprised, alot of different interesting notes. I like a good fruity taste and a touch of smoke about whiskey and this had both. There is nothing harsh about this whiskey, smooth and relaxing. It's not Lagavulin 16 but I found it enjoyable as my first whiskey of the day.
Very poor whiskey, totally overwhelmed by smoke, killing any other supposed flavours dead. Try washing camp fire cinders, seiving & drinking and you're about there. No1 is as described, far nicer and better value
A very tasty whisky, don't take notice of the whisky snobs who should stick to what they like rather than try to say this is a drain unblocker etc
