Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine. I had thought this one would be the CS version of the same cask as the TWA’s but that’s impossible, as this one is much lighter in colour

air Nose

much more spirity ‘of course’, slightly lactic/acidic at first nosing, but getting then superbly smoky and mineral. Used matches, burnt gunpowder… What’s strange is that it gets then very ‘fishy’ (kippers). Freshly opened box of sardines? Iodine, seashells. With water: gets more medicinal (antiseptic, iodine) but certainly not less ‘fishy’. Sardines indeed (did you know that there are very little sardines in Europe this year?)

restaurant Palate

a burst of peat, smokiness, salt and lemon. Much cleaner at the attack than at first nosing. Any peat lover will like this ultra-zesty Bowmore, but beware the strength. With water: classic, ultra-clean young spirit. Salt, peat, smoke and candied lemons

timer Finish

more salt
