Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold with bronze hues

air Nose

for me, the Bowmore plus heavy sherry combination sometimes fails (as it creates a bizarre plastic-like profile – at least that’s what my olfactory bulb thinks) but sometimes it’s quite brilliant, maybe when an improbable balance is achieved. It’s the case here, as we have a beautiful string of organic aromas such as fresh walnuts, apple peelings, seaweed, orange zests, humus, unlit cigars, mushrooms, sugar cane, a little sandalwood…

restaurant Palate

yes, perfect! Very earthy and leafy, pleasantly leathery, salty, liquoricy, peaty… Not too sure I like these notes of orange liqueur in the background but other than that, it’s perfect rich Bowmore

timer Finish

very long, rich yet nervous and kind of ‘clean’, with a salty aftertaste ‘as usual’
