Bowmore Islay Pure Malt Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Coastal peat and sea-salt smoke greet the nose, brightened by lemon zest and a waxy honey sweetness. Dried fig and apricot mingle with vanilla, toffee and oak, with a subtle sherry warmth that lingers in a refined, smoky finish.

Palate

Silky on the palate, with a refined peat that never dominates, giving way to orange zest, lemon oil and dried fig. Layered with vanilla, toffee and a hint of sherry sweetness, it unfolds toward cocoa and almond, leaving a lightly salted, maritime finish.

Finish

Long, maritime finish with Bowmore’s signature peat hovering over sea-salted caramel and vanilla. Zesty lemon rind adds lift while gentle oak spice and a whisper of salt persist, fading to a warm, whispering smoke.
