Rich, sweet and smoky, this expression of Ardbeg is both intensely flavoured and well-rounded.  At full strength, the aroma is an amazing symphony of chocolate caramels and fudge with gentle smoke. Dried fruits (date and raisins) and smooth sherried notes are discovered followed by linseed and walnut oil and hints of leather. With water, the deep smokiness increases in intensity, reminiscent of a Christmas pudding on fire.  Rich flowering currants and the herbal scent of pine woodlands emerge with cinnamon balls and mint humbugs.

Full-flavoured and rich with an intriguing balance between sweet, savoury and smoky flavours. The mouthfeel is full, chewy and oily with a remarkably smooth effect. The flavour is initially sweet with Christmas pudding smothered in treacle, followed by honey glazed smoked food, barbeque sauce and olives with a burst of tingly spices (cloves and wild mint).  

Well balanced with tones of apple and vanilla followed by a gently floral finish sweetness, perfect balance.

Complex yet perfectly balanced, our 12 Year Old reflects the raw essence of Bowmore - thrashing waves, windswept landscapes and generations of tradition. Bowmore 12 Year Old has received much critical acclaim; the late, great whisky writer Michael Jackson proclaimed it remarkably long and complex. We like to think of it as vanilla ice cream at a beach bonfire.

Subtle lemon and honey, balanced beautifully by Bowmore's trademark peaty smokiness. Sweet and delicious heather honey and gentle peat smoke. Savour the long, mellow finish.

Rich, indulgent, multi layered aromas of with hints of dried fruits, buttery toffee anddark chocolate.

A velvety, dark chocolate palate yields to elegant floral notes and a wisp of sweet, mellow smokiness.
