-Tasting Review
"Behind the Light Peat, Underlying Tropical Fruits and a Hint of Ashes."
"Unexpected Smoothness Combined with Distinctive Smoky, Tropical Fruits, and Oily Texture."
In Bowmore 12, the nose and palates contain the same components but different ratios. A light peat aroma is on the surface at the nose, and behind this are underlying tropical fruits and a hint of smokiness. At the palate, Smoky flavor stands out, and tropical fruits lessen.
After first sipping, the smokiness from ashes spreads inside the mouth, affecting the next tasting. Then, the fruit aromas are masked, and the smokiness is accentuated on the surface.
Also appealing are the oily reminding texture and the smoothness created by all the features mentioned above. At first glance, the strong taste is expected due to its ash-like quality. However, the smoothness felt at the swallowing comes as a surprise. Finish ends with adequate length. In my personal opinion, only for experiencing smoky features derived from ashes and oily textures is it valuable to buy Bowmore 12Y.
Except for peat, nothing is similar to other entry-peated whiskies, such as Lagavulin 8, Laphroaig 10, Highland Park 12, Ardbeg 10, and Talisker 10. In my personal opinion, the smokiness from ashes is not for everyone. Still, most people who taste this whisky cannot help admitting that the whisky is so appealing.
