Bowmore 12yo has a place in many hearts as Islay's 'medium-peated' malt. A pronounced iodine character with plenty of pepper, 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.

Tasting Notes by Stuart P
-
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.

Warm amber.

Subtle lemon and honey, balanced beautifully by Bowmore's trademark peaty smokiness.

Sweet and delicious heather honey and gentle peat smoke.

An extremely smooth scotch with a nice smokey taste. One of the best budget Single Malts out there period.

Fruity-peat balance is perfect, easy to detect aromas without being lost in smoke. Would like to see it bottled at 46% un-chillfiltered/ no colouring, but at its current price I won't complain.

This was my first bottle of Scotch I purchased. I'm glad I tried this one, I like it a lot. Very complex flavor with lots of notes of vanilla, honey, smoke, sea salt and fruit. I watched a documentary on Islay and then did a little research and landed on this one as a first bottle based on price and reviews, $50 here locally. Now with this bottle almost gone I have tried The Belvenie Doublewood 12 and must say despite fantastic reviews it lacks the depth and complexity that the Bowmore has. Maybe I am more of a smoke and peat Islay fan than the Highlands. I still have a lot I want to try like Glenfiddich, Macallan and others.
