The heart of the Bowmore range, complex yet perfectly balanced, the 12 year old reflects the raw essence of Bowmore exhibiting some beautiful coastal notes with a gentle peat with a great balance which is what makes this a great entry bottling for Bowmore.
Bowmore 12 Years Old has received much critical acclaim; the late, great whisky writer Michael Jackson proclaimed it "remarkably long and complex". With that said, we like to think of it more as vanilla ice cream at a beach bonfire.
Featured in the 1001 Whiskies you must try before you die book.
An ideal entry point into the fabulous world of Islay and Bowmore Whisky which has just the right amount of smoke and not as medicinal as the Kildalto trio of Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Lagavulin.
Distillery: Bowmore
Bowmore, Scotland
Bowmore is a pioneering house and the oldest licensed distillery on Islay.
Bowmore distillers invest more time than necessary at every stage of the process. This care and attention to detail is what creates the complex balance of not just Smoke, but also rich fruit and sea salt which is so characteristic of Bowmore timeless house style.
This is the reason why Bowmore ages like no other, the reason why it is the world’s most collectible Islay malt today.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Coastal smoke and ash soon make way for bergamot, beautiful citrus of orange zest, lemon slices and some hay before turning rather floral as the heather smoke now competes with the ash. Palate: A real treat. Rounded and initially honeyed as that then makes way for vanilla, a perfumed smoke as coastal elements develop. Dark Peat, blossom and an oily sweetness. Finish: Long and smoky. Coastal notes with a touch of ash and citrus.
