A half-bottle of Bowmore's 12-year-old whisky, a great place to start your journey through the smoky mystery of Islay's single malt whiskies. The current 12yo bottling is a welcome return to the classic Bowmores of the 1960s and '70s, with the emphasis on tropical fruit and smoke. A deserved runner-up in our Whisky of the Year 2014-15 blind tasting.
