The Original Islay Bowmore is advocating for nature A Marriage of Bowmore from hand-selected American oak ex-Bourbon casks and European oak oloroso sherry casks The original Islay Single Malt, crafted with intent since 1779 to create an exceptionally expressive whisky. Bowmore 12 Year Old is the benchmark of our expressive house style, with dramatic notes of honeyed lemon and driftwood embers that transport you to the shores of Loch Indaal. It is matured for 12 years in hand selected American oak ex-Bourbon barrels and European oak Oloroso sherry butts and puncheons, before being carefully married together. Care is taken to add distinct layers of flavour at every stage: every action is judged and considered, from the hand-turned malt, dried in peat-fired kilns, to our longer fermentation times and hand-selected casks. Colour Delicate, pale amber gold. Aroma Subtle sweetness of fresh lemon juice and heather-tinged honey balanced beautifully by Bowmore's trademark soft, earthy smokiness. Palate Warming on the palate, like dripping fresh fruits drizzled with flakes of dark chocolate. Finish Every sip leaves a lingering puff of sweet smoke on the tongue. With fruit and vibrancy, Bowmore 12-Year-Old ignites the senses. Notes of zesty lemon, dark chocolate and driftwood embers create a bold yet refined expression of our signature style.

Though we proudly hold the distinction of being Islay's first licensed distillery, our true measure is found in every bottle we craft today.

From floor maltings and peat smoke drying, to the long fermentation and slow distillation. The result of this precise and measured approach can be seen in the distinct flavours that Bowmore is famous for. A truly multidimensional whisky always promising more layers of flavour. Every bottle of Bowmore celebrates our ability to mature with excellence, aging like no other to capture the definitive expressive character of Bowmore.
