Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 25년을 보낸 긴 시간이 이 보모어의 피트를 부드럽게 다듬었다. 베리 브로스 앤 러드가 담아낸 만큼 누그러진 연기 위로 잘 익은 망고와 바닐라, 옅은 바다 소금기가 환하게 올라온다. 입에서는 열대 과일과 꿀, 은은한 훈제가 매끄러운 질감으로 흐르고, 53.4도의 도수가 또렷한 힘을 더한다. 오래 익은 보모어다운 우아한 균형이 끝까지 흐트러지지 않는다. 옅은 금빛 끝에는 연기와 과일의 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
one might easily conjure up visions of burnt petrol, scorching tyres, and brake dust... But, indeed, while there's a touch of carbon and graphite, it's predominantly the sea water and peat smoke, interlaced with nuts and raisins, that hold sway. With water: a surge of salinity, shellfish, a bit of bacon, kippers, and indeed some tar/tarmac come through
restaurant Palate
rich and fresh at the same time, with very pleasant notes of chartreuse, wormwood, liquorice, candied citron, and oysters... It's much more elegant than expected, and less 'carbonised'. With water: excellent, more lemony, sharp, and decidedly maritime. It likely pairs better with oysters than its counterparts from Islay's South shore
timer Finish
long, very fresh, this time with a focus on mandarins among the citrus fruits
