Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크가 1973년 보모어 원액에 입힌 깊은 빛과 풍미가 이 위스키의 중심을 이룬다. 21년을 바다 곁에서 보낸 만큼 향에는 잘 익은 자두와 말린 무화과 위로 아일라 특유의 옅은 갯내음과 훈연이 비친다. 43도의 부드러운 도수로 입에 머금으면 흑설탕과 오렌지 마멀레이드, 은은한 가죽이 천천히 입천장을 덮는다. 오랜 셰리 숙성이 빚어낸 적갈색이 잔에 가라앉고, 여운에는 다크초콜릿과 옅은 바다 소금기가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour

air Nose
intriguing indeed, since it’s not typically Bowmore. For instance, there’s little tropicalness, and rather a combination of honey, chocolate, praline, and cakes. Some green tea as well, earl grey, green tobacco, a wee bit of rusty tin, then rather some oldish leather, old polished furniture, a touch of camphor… It’s quite complex indeed, and while I do not find any Auchentoshan, there could well be some early 1970s Glen Garioch. Not bad news!
restaurant Palate
hesitates for a few seconds, just before a peppery and smoky blast occurs. It’s to be remembered that Glen Garioch was peaty back then! So rather not a Bowmorian peat here, rather a combination of farmy and coastal peats. Yeah. Also Glen Garioch’s leathery side, and Bowmore’s tropical fruits. I have to say it loses you a bit, but it’s certainly very good. Perhaps a little too much paraffin?
timer Finish
rather long, and rather more both tropical and topical. So Bowmorian. Mango chutney and milk chocolate. Sadly, the aftertaste is a little soapy
