Bowmore 12 Year Old DeLuxe (1L) - 1980s
Bowmore
Tasting Notes
This whisky is a true gem from the past, harking back to the 1980s when Bowmore's iconic 12 Year Old DeLuxe expression was presented in a squat, dumpy bottle that is now highly coveted by collectors. Housed in a one-liter version of this distinctive vessel, the amber-hued spirit invites you to explore its rich, layered character. Notes of succulent fruits, like ripe oranges and juicy pears, mingle with subtle hints of sea salt and a gentle smokiness reminiscent of a seaside campfire. The aging process has imparted a velvety smoothness, allowing the flavors to unfold and linger delightfully on the palate. With its harmonious blend of complexity and approachability, this dram offers a captivating glimpse into Bowmore's heritage and the art of crafting exceptional Islay whiskies.
