Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep gold
air Nose
A dry and earthy aroma with plenty peaty backbone but also quite a bit of minerality and a natural dirtiness. Some resinous sherry character along with salted almonds, some umami paste and preserved lemons in brine. Switches between softness and power. With time there’s some more classical old Bowmore exotic fruit emerging
restaurant Palate
Rather typical early 1970s Bowmore style. Lots of shellfish, kippers, some earthy and naturally funky / dirty peat qualities. Then also motor oil, diesel, seashore and fishing nets. Becomes increasingly saline, but also at the same time more fruity. These notes of lemons, orange peel, blossom, melon and banana. I think it’s probably above 43%, it feels rather punchy and powerful in the mouth. Like a slightly stronger version of the 12yo OB which was to be found in the European markets in the early 1980s
timer Finish
Good length. A coal hearth with a few warm peat embers in it. Some medicine and a few bandages and ointments
