Bowmore 12 Year Old Whisky
Bowmore 12 Year Old Whisky
|
|
Region: Islay.
Bowmore Distillery on the inner Hebridean Island of Islay was first legalised in 1779 and is one of the oldest Distilleries in Scotland. Situated on the shores of Loch Indaal, it was acquired by the Company in 1963 and is one of only five Malt Whisky Distilleries in the whole of Scotland, which still has traditional floor maltings.
There is a distinctive richness throughout all of it's range which make it one of a handful of the best distilleries in Scotland.
Characterised by intense smoke NOT peat fires BUT more like gentle summer bonfires and a myriad of floral notes.
Colour: Warm amber
Nose: Lemon, pears, honey
Palate: Peat smoke, dark chocolate
Comments: Remarkably long and complex
