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.

I see a lot of good reviews I must have a bad pallet or bad bottle . I couldn’t Stomach it adds some form of nail varnish And I’ve had to put the whole bottle down the drain

This aged statement entry bottle is sometimes unfairly criticized or even condemned by the enlightened. Yes, it's cough syrup-y sweet, spicy and smoky and a lil ashy to the point of being coy. And with caramel colouring and chill filtering we rather not have. But for affordability, as a middle of the way intro to peaty style with all the flavour profile elements necessary to be an Islay, this is still one of the best you can get hold of. If you can afford more, go for the 15. Or if you're bolder in the adventure, dig for Ardbeg 10. Enough said.

A really nice fruity & lightly peated whisky, very approachable and quiet morish. Quite medicinal on the medium to long finish, bandaids springs to mind, this won't suit everyone's taste buds but I think it defines it's character.

Very interesting combination of sweet fruits and smoked meat. I'd recommend it as an example of tasty peaty malt.

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