Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1973년 보모어 특유의 잘 익은 열대 과일과 은은한 아일라 훈연이 명확하게 드러난다. 25년의 숙성을 거친 향은 망고와 패션프루트, 바다 소금이 층층이 발전하며 깊이를 더한다. 팰럿에서는 부드러운 훈연 위로 꿀과 감귤의 단맛이 또렷하게 이어지고, 51.2도의 내추럴 스트렝스가 구조를 단단히 받친다. 피니시는 미네랄과 가벼운 재가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Light gold
air Nose
Sharp and coastal with rather a lot of lemon and citrus notes. Salty, preserved lemons, citrus rind and then some seashore, dried kelp and some chalk and aspirin. Rather a chiselled and slightly austere example without the usual (hoped for?) exuberant fruitiness. Goes on with a few medical tinctures, some seawater, a little hessian and perhaps a little grassy, olive oil note. With water: This austerity levels out rather nicely with water. More seagreens, seashore, some smoked sea salt (lots of sea, you see?), also a more obvious, earthy and herbal peatiness which is very pleasant
restaurant Palate
A little more ‘easy’ than the nose. More soft fruity notes such as fresh tangerine and orange cake. Also bergamot and lapsang souchong, banana bread, an elegant and earthy peatiness and some mineral and herbal liqueur notes. Some bandages and embrocations as well as the medical side starts to get a little louder. With water: not as much traction on the palate with water as on the nose. Still rather dry, citrusy, mineral and elegant though. Highly drinkable but not ueber complex I’d say
timer Finish
An echoing and gentle bonfire smokiness with dried herbs and more minerals, hessian and bandages. Maybe even a little wax
