When I spotted this bottle, I knew the Whisky Ladies were already gearing up for a special Bowmore session. So thought why not take a sample to compare…

However as the months went by, our Bowmore Travel Trilogy evening kept getting delayed. And there was no way I wanted this sample to suffer neglect.

Bowmore just so happens to be lead by a woman master distiller – Rachel Bowie.

Bowmore 12 year 40%

• Nose – Sweet citrus with a hint of sweet leather with a curl of smoke.
• Palate – A tingle of peat with a nice chewy quality, lots of oak and some sweet spices thrown in for good measure – particularly clove
• Finish – More dry spices and a hint of bitter chocolate

Overall it was a treat to enjoy a solid Bowmore dram.

Other Bowmore’s sampled include:

• 15 Year Laimrig 54.4%
• 21 year Port Cask Matured (1988) 51.5%
• Black Rock 40%
