BOWMORE WHISKY 12 YEAR OLD

Savour: Trademark gentle peat smoke, leading to a delicious, long and mellow finish

Bowmore is a distillery that produces scotch whisky on the isle of Islay, an island of the Inner Hebrides. The distillery, which lies on the South Eastern shore of Loch Indaal, is one of the oldest in Scotland, and is said to have been established in 1779. Bowmore Distillery sources as much barley as possible from on the island of Islay, however there are insufficient quantities produced to satisfy the distillery's demand, and barley is also imported from the mainland. The distillery retains a traditional floor malting but this also lacks sufficient capacity and the barley imported from the mainland is normally already malted. Classic Islay with gentle peaty aromas and barley flavours intermingled with a little sherry wood and seaside air.
