Tasting Notes
Nose: Burnt rubber / Sondico entry-level goalie gloves. Sweet peaty notes, but quite weighty, mingling with orchard fruits. Fall allotment vibes - pine needles and tree sap meet potting shed. Taste: Excellent combination of peated, phenolic spirit and PX. Classic Bowmore sweet phenols - prevalent, but balanced. Sweet BBQ flavours, which contrast / combine both with those big fruity (and quite tangy) PX notes - blood orange, plums and cranberries, and also with those heavier notes - clootie dumplings, caramelised muscovado sugars and coconut and marzipan macaroons.

The Distillery
Bowmore
Bowmore Distillery, founded by David Simpson in 1779 on the shores of Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay, is recognized as one of the oldest working distilleries on Islay and among the earliest malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Renowned for its dedication to traditional production methods, Bowmore still malts a portion of its barley on heritage malting floors and uses its own malt kilns—a practice that contributes to its distinct Islay single malt character. Actively participating in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music, Bowmore offers special bottlings during this vibrant celebration, further cementing its reputation among whisky enthusiasts. Popular official releases include the Bowmore 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old, and 25 Year Old, each showcasing the distillery’s hallmark fusion of peat smoke and maritime influence that has made Bowmore an essential name in Scotch whisky history.
