## Description

Product Description Bowmore is the malt from the world’s oldest Scotch whisky maturation warehouse, the legendary No.1 Vaults, established in 1779. The first Islay malt, still carefully smoked in a peat-fired kiln, Bowmore is widely acknowledged to be among the finest, most distinctly balance single malts in the world. Complex yet distinctly balanced, Bowmore 12 Year Old reflects the raw essence of Bowmore thrashing waves, wind-swept landscapes and generations of tradition. Remarkably long and complex, 12 Year Old offers puffs of peat smoke and pools of honey, sharpened by lemon zest. We like to think of it as vanilla ice cream at a beach bonfire. 2019 International Spirits Challenge Silver, 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Awards Gold, 2019 SIP Awards Double Gold.

Review: Still one of the best at this price point. - I've long been a fan of Bowmore's 12 year old offering, but having tried the 'new' Legend and some other similarly aged whiskies from other distilleries I've found new love for this classic. It has honeyed fruit on the nose and initially on the palate, but that's soon kicked into submission by a complex warmth of leathery, smoky deliciousness that belies its age. The finish is as promised, long and lingering, which makes this an ideal sipping drink over those long winter nights. When it's on offer under £30 it's tremendous value, at under £25 it's a steal and makes a mockery of the 'new' Bowmore Legend which isn't really a patch on the old one. I've reviewed that as well and provided a side-by-side so you can see the colour difference too if that's of interest. Slàinte!

Totally delicious.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delivery problems some of the time
*by L***R on 3 September 2019*

This whisky is very nice indeed and seldom found in England - if the seller reads this though, we always seem to have problems with delivery. Either we get a notice from Amazon saying it has been damaged so has been returned to seller (no cost implications for us I hasten to add !) or we get a failed delivery. Today, for example, delivery was apparently attempted at 1403. Well that is very odd as not only was I in but I was on top of a roof with full view of both entrances to the house - I was trimming back hedges and ivy. There was no attempted delivery - would stake my life on it ! What is going on I wonder - only seems to affect alcohol deliveries from Amazon - everything else we order comes through without any problem. I will be interested to see if it makes it tomorrow ! Good job I have CCTV installed so can check on it :)
