Bowmore 12 Year

Nose. Vanilla, lemon zest and light smoke. Palate. Sweet vanilla, honey, sea salt and light smoke. This isn’t particularly peaty. Finish. Medium length; peppery warmth and lingering smoke. This is a much lighter Islay than something like Laphroaig but an easy and enjoyable drink. I’d happily use it to introduce someone to Islay whiskies.
