Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에 맑게 어린다. 아일라의 보모어답게 은은한 토탄 연기와 바닷소금, 잘 익은 열대 과일의 향이 어우러져 피어오른다. 25년의 긴 숙성이 그 위에 망고와 꿀, 옅은 꽃향을 더한다. 50.2도의 도수가 한 모금마다 부드러운 훈연과 과실의 단맛을 또렷하게 펼친다. 오래된 보모어 특유의 우아한 연기와 과일의 조화가 인상적이다. 여운에는 옅은 연기와 열대 과일이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
yaaah! As an example of that style, it’s perfect. Orange bonbons, Parma violets, lavender ice cream (a trendy thing in Provence, but mainly British tourists like that… wait, that may explain a few things about these Bowmores ;-))… Then ink and chalk. New plastic pouch at the supermarket (well where they still use those). With water: doesn’t swim too well, gets very chalky/inky
restaurant Palate
not that bad, not that bad – and even Saint Columba of Iona knows I’m not a fan of this style. I find it chemical and plastic-like again, but I feel I need to add that the citrusy/candied notes as well as the peaty smoke work well on the palate. In any case, it’s probably a late-period ‘Bowmore-of-that-style’, because earlier ones had less peat – and even more lavender. With water: rounder and sweeter. Grapefruit marmalade, plus some salt and some ashes
timer Finish
long, ashy. The lavender and the violets are still there
