Bowmore 12

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 91 Points

This version of the Bowmore 12 reflects the results of Morrison Bowmore’s stricter wood policy developed several years ago. The nose is peaty, along with brine and seaweed…and just a hint of almonds. The taste is well-balanced between peat and spice, with sweet notes underneath of raisins and figs. The finish is smoky, warm, and lingering.
