Founded over two centuries ago in 1779 Bowmore is the first recorded distillery on Islay and one of the oldest in the whole of Scotland. Islay malts are renowned for their peaty smokiness and Bowmore is no exception. Complex yet perfectly balanced Bowmore 12 Year Old is said to reflect the raw essence of Bowmore - thrashing waves windswept landscapes and generations of tradition. Bowmore 12 Year Old has received much critical acclaim; the late great whisky writer Michael Jackson proclaimed it "remarkably long and complex" and the expression is widely regarded as a flagship expression of Islay whisky. A pronounced nose reveals subtle notes of lemon and honey balanced beautifully by Bowmore's trademark peaty smokiness plus some pepper and mango notes. Sweet and delicious in the mouth flavours of heather honey and gentle peat smoke are revealed ahead of a long mellow intense finish. A classic release that offers immense drinkability and complexity for the price.
