Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - 1990s Bottling

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some light creasing/scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

We place this 'old seagull label' 700ml Bowmore 12 year old as being released in the early to mid 1990s. There were a few similar looking iterations from the same era, so the review below from whiskyfun is indicative only. 43% Alc./Vol.

Colour: amber. Nose: already some notes of ‘bottle age’, with very little smoke if any (was it a lack of 'tails'?) No notes of ‘geranium’ or ‘lavender’, that is. There is something coastal, though, together with a little dust and cardboard. Rather discreet… Notes of ashes, a certain lack of cleanliness. Mouth: there is quite some peat now, and also crystallised fruits and butter caramel plus a little liquorice. It gets then bolder, with quite some salt and tar and gets then a little ‘difficult’ (heavy notes of salty liquorice). The finish is rather long, mostly on dried plums and salt… In short, this one is little weird, lacking freshness and cleanliness. Not my cup of tea, I’m afraid. 77 points - whiskyfun.com
