Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 27년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 보모어의 피트를 부드럽게 다듬으며 깊은 향을 끌어냈다. 향은 잘 익은 열대 과일과 옅은 바다 연기, 보모어 특유의 꽃향이 우아하게 어우러진다. 51.3도의 입은 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 꿀과 시트러스, 잔잔한 토탄을 풀어낸다. 오랜 숙성이 만든 옅은 황금빛 아래 여운에는 단 연기와 과실이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
reddish coffee
air Nose
Modern Bowmore and sherry can be a bit of a funny combination sometimes but this one works well so far with big initial notes of salted walnuts, coffee liqueur, tar, toasted raisins, fruit loaf and various smoked meats. There’s a nice damp earthiness and notes of old leather. Lots of dunnage, hessian, coal dust and touches of lambic ales. With water: earthier, more hessian, plenty dark chocolate, more tar, black pepper and cola syrup. A wee hint of good quality root beer as well and with time there’s also things like ink and dried herbs coming to the fore
restaurant Palate
Big bitter chocolate notes, espresso, strawberry infused pipe tobacco, game meats, walnut wine and tar liqueur. Black pepper, wood spices, jasmine, strong black tea and mushroom powder. Very good! With water: now there’s some fruit emerging too. Red fruit jams, orange cordial, peaches and dried apricot. That rather meaty aspect has started to balance out nicely. There’s more cola sweetness, more coffee and big spicy notes of star anise and five spice. BBQ sauce as well
timer Finish
long and prickling with heat. Spicy hot sauce, camphor, iodine, salted meats and old balsamic
