Bowmore 12 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

For those who appreciate the haunting character of Islay without the overwhelming peat smoke of some other malts, Bowmore 12 Year Old strikes a perfect balance. Its medium-peated profile delivers a distinctively maritime experience, with pronounced iodine and sea-salt notes that evoke the distillery's coastal home on Loch Indaal. This single malt offers a gentle introduction to Islay whiskies while still providing the depth and complexity that seasoned enthusiasts seek.

- Aged for 12 years in carefully selected bourbon and sherry casks, producing a rich amber colour and layered flavour profile

- Medium peat level (around 25 ppm) gives a subtle smoky backbone that complements rather than dominates

- Nose offers lemon zest, honeyed malt, and a gentle waft of peat smoke with a characteristic brine

- Palate balances sweet heather honey and ripe pear against coastal peat, gentle spice, and a hint of dark chocolate

- Finish is medium-long with lingering smoke, oak tannins, and a touch of salted caramel

- Bottled at 40% ABV (70cl) by the distillery with no chill-filtration to retain full flavour and texture

- Based on a recipe dating back to 1779, with barley malted at Bowmore's own floor maltings

A versatile dram that works equally well neat, with a splash of water, or as the foundation for a classic Islay highball. Its approachable character makes it an excellent choice for both newcomers and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
