Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
no big peat here, and no big fruitiness either. It’s rather one of these Bowmores that were at the crossroad of the big fresh fruitiness of the 1960s and of the higher peatiness of the mid to late 1970s. Bitter oranges and tangerines, sea air, leather, porridge, green bananas, apple peelings, plain grass, walnuts… It’s not a very expressive one for sure. Wee hints of spicy herbs do come through, rosemary, thyme… Also hints of seashells (clams). It’s rather complex but not very exuberant
restaurant Palate
more oomph and more ‘Bowmoreness’, starting on a lot of orange marmalade and quite some dried ginger and cardamom. Then salty oysters, cough medicine, mild peat, white pepper, very faint cardboardy notes. Notes of mango chutney. Whilst the attack was relatively smooth, it gets then bigger and bigger on your palate. Spicy Chinese sauce for dim-sums
timer Finish
long, even jammier, more citrusy, more in the 1960’s style. Again, faint notes of cardboard in the aftertaste. White pepper
