Bowmore 12 (40% ABV)
Color: Shiny gold
Nose: Sweet and salty. Saltwater taffy. Light smoke. Faint citrus and mint.
Palate: Light. Similar to Talisker. Maritime salty breeze. Sea vegetation.
Finish: Sweet barbecue smoke and meat. Vaguely fish-y.
Overall: Pretty good. I’d place this just above Caol Ila in my preferences of Islays, but still not close to Laphroaig, Lagavulin, or Ardbeg.
