Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈를 가까이 하면 보모어다운 절제된 피트 연기와 함께 패션프루트와 망고 같은 열대 과실이 또렷하게 드러난다. 리필 호그스헤드에서 21년을 보낸 덕에 팰럿은 레몬과 바닐라, 옅은 해염이 균형을 이루며 농축된 과실 단맛이 구조의 축을 잡는다. 58.5도의 도수는 강건하게 입을 채우면서도 거칠지 않게 향미를 끌어올린다. 피니시는 은은한 훈연과 시트러스 껍질, 미네랄로 길게 이어지며, 1997년 빈티지 보모어가 보여 주는 과실과 연기의 단단한 조화가 분명하게 정리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it’s a very citric one, it’s as if they have ‘pushed the limes’ all along the 1990s. Huge limes, grapefruits, and simply lemons. This is pretty spectacular, but of course, you have to enjoy your citrus. And if you love a large plate of oysters just as much, you’re in for a treat, as far as the nose is concerned. With water: oh, wee whiffs of crushed mint leaves! No, no, no McMojito please!
restaurant Palate
this is funny, someone just redistilled some very good Alsatian or Austrian Rieslings. You say both? And then added a splash of seawater. With water: immaculate, pristine, crustal-clear salty and lemony smoke. Unbeatable outside around Loch Indaal
timer Finish
long, on the very same notes, which works out nicely
