(Islay) Bowmore 12yr Malt Whisky 70cl

Bowmore 12yr Malt Whisky. Bowmore distillery is situated between the North and the South of the Island, and the whisky can be considered as being just between the Northern style and the Southern one. The taste of Bowmore is something between the intense southern malts (Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig and Port Ellen) and the smoother ones from the North (Caol Ila, Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain). Bowmore whiskies are characterized by a great complexity. Nose: Attractive, perfumed fairly intense maritime nose: dark chocolate, orange peel, quite buttery with dry lavender-tinged smoke. Palate: Rounded, and soft, then it dries half-way as the peaty notes (hessian, smoke) take over, then comes flowers, parma violet, rose and always those soft fruits. Finish: Nut and fragrant smoke. Not only is the smokiness sustained all the way through, it surges in the finish. Lots of salt, too. Light touch of buttered kippers (a breakfast dram?) Comment: Great balance between dry smoke and soft fruits.
