Bowmore Islay 12 Year

Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay, established in 1779, and sits directly on the shores of Loch Indaal — a geography that shapes every drop. Their legendary vaulted warehouses sit below sea level, allowing the cool, salty air to influence maturation in a way no inland distillery can replicate. The 12-Year walks the fine line between Islay's medicinal peat smoke and a more approachable Speyside-like fruit sweetness: lemon, heather honey, and dark chocolate alongside a gentle coastal smokiness that lingers pleasantly on the finish.
