Complex yet perfectly balanced, Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey reflects the raw essence of Bowmore - thrashing waves, windswept landscapes, and generations of tradition. It has received much critical acclaim; the late, great whiskey writer Michael Jackson proclaimed it "remarkably long and complex." As a part of Bowmore's core range, this Aged 12 Years Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is complex and balanced, with puffs of peat smoke and pools of honey, sharpened by lemon zest. It is warm amber on the eye. Subtle lemon and honey on the nose balanced beautifully by Bowmore's signature peatiness. The palate is warming and delicious with flavors of subtle dark chocolate. The finish is long, mellow, and pleasant with gentle peat smoke. We like to think of it as vanilla ice cream at a beach bonfire. Enjoy!
