Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 은근히 훈연한 고기와 살라미, 짭짤한 국물 같은 감칠맛이 두드러진다. 축축한 파이프 담배와 버섯 가루, 셰리에서 온 건포도와 랑시오가 흙내음과 함께 발전한다. 팰럿은 43도에서 짭짤한 고기와 피스타치오, 초콜릿 소스와 당밀이 층을 이루며 흐른다. 셰리 배치가 섞인 올드 스타일 보모어답게 다크 프루트와 은근한 스모크의 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 흙내 나는 홍차와 육질감이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber - which is much darker than expected
air Nose
this is the first time I’ve ever found a sherried batch of one of these old OB 12 year old. This is all on gently smoked game meats, venison salami, salty ramen broths, damp pipe tobacco, mushroom powder and mulchy earthen floored cellars. There’s botritic raisins and gentle rancio too. Keeps opening up and developing along rather earthy and tertiary lines. The fruits are there but they remain dark, exotic and strictly stewed and crystalised. Hugely impressive so far I have to say
restaurant Palate
many salty game meats, pistachios, chocolate sauce, strawberry wine and treacle. Bitter chocolate studded with smoked sea salt and some natural tar. Trouble is, there is also some soapiness too. However, it feels like a bottle flaw rather than a distillate flaw; this is old school Bowmore for sure. Full of meat broths and herbal medicines now too
timer Finish
long, very gently smokey, lots of soft dark fruits, earthy black teas and more of these elegant meaty tones
