Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
punchy, really candied, as if the peat was encapsulated in bitter oranges and ginger. Loads of caraway as well. No strawberries or blackcurrants so far. With water: here come the flowers (peonies, lilies) and Bowmore’s classic ‘coastal peatiness’. Still no straight winey fruitiness and that’s good news. Certainly not first fill Port! Much, much nicer with water
restaurant Palate
hot and pungent, but the profile is very nice. Peat, pepper and Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit bubblegum. Water is obligatory. With water: almost classic Bowmore now, with notes of violet sweets that may come either from the spirit or from the Port. Or from both. Blackberry jam, mild peat and soft spices
timer Finish
long, on pepper and Juicy Fruit again
