Bowmore 12 Year Old

Hailing from the rugged shores of Islay, Bowmore is one of Scotland’s most historic distilleries, established in 1779. With over two centuries of expertise, Bowmore has mastered the art of balancing peat smoke with refined complexity. The 12 Year Old expression is a testament to this legacy, offering a well-rounded and approachable introduction to Islay whisky.

Whisky Description

Bowmore 12 Year Old pours a warm amber hue, reflecting its time in oak casks. On the nose, delicate floral notes and a touch of honey are intertwined with signature Islay peat smoke. The palate unfolds with layers of sweet vanilla, ripe citrus, and a subtle maritime salinity, underscored by a gentle smokiness. Medium-bodied with a silky texture, it finishes long and warming, with lingering hints of dark chocolate and soft spice.
