This 12-year-old Bowmore was bottled by Blackadder, a well-respected independent bottler that specializes in cask-strength whiskies. The liquid has been matured in a raw cask, which means it has not been chill-filtered, resulting in a whisky that is full of character and flavour. On the nose, expect aromas of peat smoke, salted caramel, and citrus. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with notes of dark chocolate, honey, and dried fruit. There are also hints of tobacco and leather, which add complexity and depth. The finish is long and smoky, with a touch of sweetness.

Bowmore is one of the oldest distilleries on Islay and the first on the island to receive a license. Officially founded in 1779 by local merchant David Simpson, it's likely that illicit distilling had been taking place for some years on the same site. The distillery had a number of different owners over the years, passing to Stanley Morrison in the mid 60s before being purchased by Beam Suntory in 1994.
The distillery has bottled some of the world's most desirable single malts over the years including the widely acclaimed White, Black and Gold Bowmore editions. Across the range, the spirit is characterised by a rich smoky character with hints of tropical fruit and ocean spray.
