Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 맑게 빛난다. 향을 맡으면 옛 보모어다운 잘 익은 망고와 패션프루트의 향이 먼저 솟고 그 아래로 부드러운 피트 연기가 흐른다. 입에 들이면 버번 캐스크가 다듬은 열대 과일과 꿀이 혀를 적시며 48.7도의 알코올이 둥글게 가라앉는다. 앤티크 라이언스가 1991년 원액으로 거둔 이 보모어는 화사한 과일과 옅은 훈연의 조화를 우아하게 보여준다. 여운은 열대 과일과 은은한 연기로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s not always a bad sign when you first get glue and nail polish remover (acetone). In this case, those obvious notes tend to vanish into the air after just twenty (say fifteen) seconds, leaving room for some superb late-1960s-style almondy notes, smoked salmon, olives (bags of olives), and a little saltpetre and damp concrete. This is not exactly ‘modern’ Bowmore yet, but this rather ‘muddy’ style just works. Perfect and complex
restaurant Palate
indeed, the late 1960s. What we have today is rather astonishing, as if our friends had poured quite a few old low-level bottles into the cask prior to disgorging it, and while only friends were watching. Only 1991, really? Very very good – and complex
timer Finish
medium, a tad burnt in a good way, slightly Demerara-y, and with hints of very old and slightly sweet balsamico and more leather and tobacco. Some stuff must have happened
