Bowmore 12 Year Old

Established in 1779 by local merchant David Simpson, Bowmore is one of the oldest distilleries on Islay and the first to receive a license! This storied distillery lies on the west coast of Islay, where the sea and native peat give rise to one of the most recognized smoky drams in the single-malt Whisky world.

Bowmore Islay 12 year old is the very heart of the Bowmore range of single malt Whiskies.The Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt is a return to the classic Bowmores of the 1960s and '70s, with the emphasis on tropical fruit and smoke.
