The Bowmore 12 Years, from the traditional Bowmore distillery, stands out as one of the smoothest and friendliest whiskies from Islay. This distillery, one of the oldest in the region, sits by a sea lake, contributing a subtle saline freshness to its profile. The whisky exhibits a light golden color and is characterized by a perfumed, smoky aroma evoking notes of orange, coffee, and abundant malt. On the palate, the Bowmore 12 feels round, smooth, and dry due to its smokiness, culminating in a floral and smoky finish that makes it exceptional.
