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

Tasting Notes

  • 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.

  • Producer's Tasting Notes

    • On the eye

      Warm amber.

    • Breathe in

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

    • Sip

      Sweet and delicious heather honey and gentle peat smoke.

    • Savour

      The long, mellow finish.

    Shaun Bourne,

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

    GMO,

    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.

    Roger,

    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.
