Bowmore
12 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Category: Islay Single Malt Scotch
Date Tasted:
6/24/2019
Country: Scotland
Alcohol: 40%
Golden amber color. Aromas of hazelnut creme, tobacco, honey lozenge, toasted brioche, and cured meats with a satiny, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a seamless, interesting, medium-length salted melon rinds, grilled stone fruit, cheddar biscuit, sandalwood, and tar finish. A tasty and balanced single malt that’s incredibly smooth; hints of salinity round out this slightly smoky Scotch.

About
Islay Single Malt Scotch
Islay is an island off the west coast. Traditional Islay malt whiskies are intensely smoky and pungent in character with a distinctive iodine or medicinal tang that is said to come from sea salt permeating the local peat that is used to dry the barley malt.
