air Nose
and here is this incredible profile that suggests a little demon decided to mix mango and clementine juices with heavy fuel and seawater. This nose is not at all tired, on the contrary, it reminds us of the best Bowmores of the 1960s that were bottled nearly thirty years ago (my God, already). Of course, that cannot be the case, but one could almost imagine that this barrel was transferred into demi-johns at a certain point, in the manner of some great cognacs. This nose is sumptuous, that's all. Oh, and those juicy peaches!
restaurant Palate
not the slightest trace of tiredness, a very fine woodiness, and our much-anticipated slightly salty and tarry exotic fruits. The mangos of course, but also the bananas, indeed the clementines, and passion fruits, papayas... Then seawater and shellfish, while the whole becomes more and more maritime and, consequently, less tropical. But it remains masterful and of great finesse all along, while the sensation in the mouth is very imposing for a whisky offered at just over the minimum official requirement of 40% vol
timer Finish
even the finish is rather long, extremely Bowmore-like, with a bit of tar this time, a very marked salinity, and fruit peels afterwards. Some ashes and bitter almonds in the aftertaste
