Bowmore 12 year old – Dusk
Fondest memory of the Bowmore 12 – My husband and I were out walking our two Bernese Mountain Dogs one cold January night and as we neared a lookout over a beautiful frozen lake, he pulled out two nosing glasses and a flask with Bowmore 12. Well, I strongly recommend you try this dram outside on the coldest night your climate allows, the smoky earthy flavors are accentuated GREATLY in the cold night air.
Not only was it an excellent opportunity to nose/taste the Bowmore in a completely different atmosphere, it was the perfect dram!
Cheers…
