Introduction:
Bowmore 12 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a complex, perfectly balanced whisky that represents the benchmark of Bowmore’s expressive house style. Aged in a mix of hand-selected American oak ex-Bourbon and European oak Oloroso sherry casks, this single malt captures the untamed character of Islay with remarkable depth and flavour clarity.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Warm amber with golden highlights.
-
Nose: A heady mix of pear, passion fruit, and mango, lifted by sweet notes of gingerbread, creamy toffee, and honey.
-
Palate: Deep and engaging, featuring vanilla, cinnamon, and a subtle smokiness that builds into a tropical fruit explosion on the dry finish.
Pairings:
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water. Complements smoked salmon, aged cheddar, or dark chocolate. Also pairs beautifully with grilled meats and roasted nuts for a balanced tasting experience.
