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.

Savor: the long, mellow finish.

The Bowmore Balance

Complex yet perfectly balanced, our 12 Year Old reflects the raw essence of Bowmore - thrashing waves, windswept landscapes, and generations of tradition. Bowmore 12 Year Old has received much critical acclaim; the late, great whisky writer Michael Jackson proclaimed it "remarkably long and complex". We like to think of it as vanilla ice cream at a beach bonfire.
