Bowmore SAS 23rd Special Air Service Regiment Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with copper highlights and a mahogany-red edge.

Nose

Salty maritime peat and ash rise first, carried on a briny breeze. Layered with bright lemon zest, honey and vanilla, it unfurls into rich dried-fruit notes—raisin and fig—with a touch of cocoa from sherry cask influence. A whisper of oak spice and gentle pepper adds depth, finishing on a luxurious, lingering sweetness.

Palate

Peaty smoke and sea-salt open the palate, carried by a sherried richness. Dried fig and cocoa mingle with orange zest and toffee, warmed by vanilla and spice. Silky yet persistent, with mineral bite and a long, smoky finish that lingers gracefully.

Finish

Long maritime smoke lingers, refined by sherry sweetness. Peat softens into velvety fig, dark chocolate, and orange zest, with a gentle saline note. The finish hums with warm oak spice, leaving a lasting, polished glow.
