Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
not a lot, not a lot. Some seawater, blackcurrants, whiffs of bay leaves, orange blossom, seaweed fire, ginger… It’s all relatively discreet, and rather spicy/grassy. I enjoy these notes of dried kelp on a beach, though. A little sandalwood
restaurant Palate
what I find very satisfying is that the off notes that we used to find in the sherried Bowmores from the 1990s or early 2000s are gone, totally gone. Now, this caramel, millionaire shortbread (there used to be a wee bakery opposite the distillery in Bowmore where you could find some excellent Millionaire shortbread, but it seems that they’re not there anymore) and marmalade make it a little thick. But balance is there, and there’s no excessive sweetness, nor is it oaky. In fact, it’s pleasant
timer Finish
a little short and maybe a notch drying (you feel it on the sides and back of your mouth), but this smoky caramel is good
