Bowmore 12 Years Old is the single malt that best represents the style of the oldest distillery still in operation on the island of Islay, founded in 1779. Matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, this whisky embodies all the elegance that has made Bowmore famous: a delicate, never overpowering peatiness that intertwines with fruity notes, honey and a characteristic minerality influenced by the proximity of the ocean. A refined balance that makes it one of the most highly regarded single malts, both amongst connoisseurs and those trying peated whiskies for the first time.
On the nose, aromas of lemon, honey, vanilla and a hint of smoke emerge, accompanied by subtle salty notes. On the palate, it is smooth and harmonious, with notes of caramel, ripe fruit, sweet spices and delicate peat, leading to a long, fresh and pleasantly briny finish. A great Islay classic, perfect for enjoying neat or with a few drops of water to bring out its aromatic complexity.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
