Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1966년 빈티지 보모어의 산화된 트로피컬 과실, 마른 들꽃, 가벼운 피트 연기 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 22년 숙성에도 1966 빈티지의 시간 압축이 노즈를 지배한다. 팰럿은 43도의 부드러운 도수가 마른 망고, 헤이즐넛, 정향의 구조감을 풀어내며 균형이 단단하다. 둔 에데안 1988년 병입답게 보모어 1966 트로피컬 골든 시대 캐릭터가 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 길게 발전하며 잔잔한 피트와 묵은 오크의 쌉쌀함이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
no big peat here, and no big fruitiness either. It’s rather one of these Bowmores that were at the crossroad of the big fresh fruitiness of the 1960s and of the higher peatiness of the mid to late 1970s. Bitter oranges and tangerines, sea air, leather, porridge, green bananas, apple peelings, plain grass, walnuts… It’s not a very expressive one for sure. Wee hints of spicy herbs do come through, rosemary, thyme… Also hints of seashells (clams). It’s rather complex but not very exuberant
restaurant Palate
more oomph and more ‘Bowmoreness’, starting on a lot of orange marmalade and quite some dried ginger and cardamom. Then salty oysters, cough medicine, mild peat, white pepper, very faint cardboardy notes. Notes of mango chutney. Whilst the attack was relatively smooth, it gets then bigger and bigger on your palate. Spicy Chinese sauce for dim-sums
timer Finish
long, even jammier, more citrusy, more in the 1960’s style. Again, faint notes of cardboard in the aftertaste. White pepper
