Bowmore 12 Year Old

This was the first single malt I ever bought. I was in my first (low paid) job and it seemed like a small fortune at the time. I bought it during my lunch hour and had to have the bottle sat on my desk all afternoon, while I wondered what the golden liquid inside tasted like. At first I was blown away by the harshness, the seaweed and salt, like when you first get a mouthful of seawater. But then the smoke and peat came through and we made friends. This is definitely one to warm the spirits on a cold, rainy day.
