Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
you know, when you find these stunning notes of mangos, it cannot not be 1960s Bowmore. Fabulous nose, with also guavas, papayas, passion fruits and then a lorryload of very tiny aromas, most phenolic. Such as argan oil, horse sweat, aluminium, rubber boots, chartreuse, seashells, wool... It's all extremely complex. Complexity is what's really missing in modern whiskies
restaurant Palate
peat+mangos=old Bowmore indeed. No doubt about that. What's also really striking in this oldie is the huge raisiny side, there's many of them, sultanas, Smyrna, Corinth, big fat muscats... So the very early 1960s were probably rounder than the well-known mid-1960s, unless it all comes from the casks. Hints of Turkish delights, even a little fudge, some salt, something like tinned sardines cooked in vanilla sauce, mango jam... Ah well, this is simply very great
timer Finish
rather long and very raisiny. It's not that often that raisins are so big in old Bowmores - whatever the wood
