Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 황금빛이 잔 깊숙이 잠긴다. 아일라 보모어가 1957년 빈티지로부터 38년의 시간을 보낸 흔적이 헤더 꿀과 잘 익은 살구, 옅은 바닷바람으로 코를 끌어당긴다. 40.1도의 부드러운 도수가 입안에서 캐러멜과 그릴드 레몬, 짭조름한 미네랄을 잔잔히 흐른다. 디스틸러리 보틀링이 들려주는 옛 보모어의 정갈한 깊이가 길게 이어지는 여운으로 깊게 머문다.

what’s most interesting is that aside from the very obvious (if rather light in this instance) exotic fruits, there is an allusion to this more perfumed and lavender side which is more associated with 80s Bowmore. We talk about whether this is a character which has always been present to varying degrees in Bowmore - I’m inclined to think it probably is. This is not excessive or soapy, rather I get the impression of citrus bath salts, heather flowers and a more lean minerality than you might expect from 50s Bowmore which is more reminiscent of the early 70s style. There’s also some pink sea salt and sandalwood. Extremely fragrant and more coastal than I would have expected. In time it moves more towards direct aromas of mango, guava and pineapple
restaurant Palate
indeed there is a kiss of lavender but there’s also extremely fragrant and beautiful coastal and seashore complexities. Seagreens, gorse, myrtle, dried seaweed, fresh citrus peels, tart grapefruit juice and slightly stinging salinity. Also things like linens, orange water, chalky minerals and a little sooty note
timer Finish
good length. Not the longest but lingering, fragrant and showing a rather chiselled saltiness, crushed seashells, fish sauce and some smoked herbs in the aftertaste
