Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1974 빈티지 보모어다운 오래된 오일과 캄포, 말린 살구, 박하 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 셰리 캐스크가 견과와 바클라바의 단맛을 얹어 복합성을 넓힌다. 팰럿은 43도로 섬세하게 흘러 짭조름한 미네랄과 작은 시트러스, 피스타치오 오일이 감긴다. 캄포와 유칼립투스, 화장품 같은 옅은 훈연이 정교하게 얽힌다. 여운은 가볍지만 섬세하게 해안의 뉘앙스로 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
there’s something here we don’t find in any Bowmore today—those old massage oils, ointments, camphor, but also paraffin, dried apricots, peppermint, mead, fresh hazelnuts, baklava, resinous wood ashes, mint tea, buttery caramel, old books, inks, vintage magazines… You’re right, it’s going in all sorts of directions, but the charm is immense. Long live chaos in our whiskies! (right?)
restaurant Palate
these early 1970s vintages are not always easy to pin down, as their style could vary significantly—some extending the 1960s profile, others not. Here, it’s beautifully saline, perhaps a bit fragile at 43% after all these years, but overall, it’s an unfathomably delicate maritime whisky, almost evoking the deepness of the Mariana Trench (what?). Small citrus fruits, pistachio oil, fruit peels, camphor and eucalyptus, shellfish, almost cosmetic-like smoke… You see, it’s pure lace
timer Finish
not very long, light, but stunningly elegant. An afternoon on a northern Brittany beach in the Roaring Twenties—or something along those lines
