Product Description
A long-time favourite among Islay whisky fans, Bowmore 12 Year Old's coastal style reflects the distillery’s enduring popularity among peat fans. Sitting at the heart of Bowmore’s range, this is matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, resulting in layers of tropical fruit and honey over waves of smoke. This is a whisky that stays with you.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Stuart P, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Appetising combo of smoke and caramelised pineapple with a heady hit of tropical fruit.
Palate
Some lovely smokiness, but the fruity elements really sing here: pineapple, peach and mango all dancing with the smoke that surrounds them. Great balance.
Finish
Rather soft and relaxing, with the smoke gently fading.

Worst whisky I've ever had - got on offer and still wish I'd never bought it. Avoid!
Excellent peat scotch whiskey. Personally, I enjoy the smokey flavor, but I understand it's not to everyone's taste. Different strokes for different folks, and more for me.
Thin and full of strange off-flavours that do not mesh well with smoky peat. Big miss for me.
I think I must have a bad batch, as this smells and tastes awful. The aroma is unpleasant in a kind of dirty, rubbery way. I love Islay whiskies and Campbletown, so it's not that I don't enjoy peated whisky. My experience does not seem to be anything like the tasting notes described. I only paid 20 quid though, but still, would rather a bottle of Bells than this. I would steer clear, and get a bottle Bunnahabhain Moine or an Ardbeg wee beastie, a bit more money but much, much better whisky.
This is an outstanding whiskey, well balanced, delightful, distinctive,a single malt that delivers on every level,,exceptional at the highest level, in my opinion an award winning whiskey, ?? ??
