Bowmore 12 Years Old Single Malt Whisky

Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the benchmark of Bowmore’s expressive house style, a complex and perfectly balanced expression. Bowmore 12 Year Old was matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, perfectly paired with European oak Oloroso sherry casks.

    Nose:    Flowing through its subtle yet sweet canvas of fresh lemon juice and heather-tinged honey is Bowmore’s trademark soft, earthy smokiness.

    Taste:    Worming on the palate, intriguing hints of dripping fresh fruits drizzled with flakes of dark chocolate are revealed.

    Finish:    A lingering, intentional puff of rich, sweet smoke teases the tongue. An intriguing echo complementing each sip.

Islay's oldest working distillery, Bowmore was established in 1779 and is now regarded as one of the most popular malts not only on Islay, but in the whole of Scotland. The distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison in 1963, ushering in an era of iconic single malts, including the legendary Black Bowmore, credited by many as the genesis of whisky collecting, bottled in 1995. The distillery was bought under the control Suntory the year prior (they had been stakeholders since 1989), and it remains one of the most collectible brands in Scotch whisky today. Bowmore is one of the few remaining Scottish distilleries to use its own floor maltings, providing them with 40% of their requirements.
