Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bronze gold
air Nose
hmm, stock cube, mead, spent fireworks, boot polish, leather, stewed red fruit, buds, and dried raisins… With water: the more ‘Bowmorian’ traits emerge—sea water, peat, oysters, liquorice… In short, it’s better with water
restaurant Palate
in the vein of those early wine-finished Bowmores, starting with the inexpressible ‘Claret’. It clashes in a Miles Davis circa 1970 kind of way—the resemblance ends there, alas for this Bowmore. Smoked prunes, scorched orchard leaves, and lashings of umeshu as served in a sushi joint. With water: again, slightly improved, though there’s lavender and violet poking through. Oops, just like the old days
timer Finish
medium in length, on smoked red fruit jam with a slightly soapy edge
