air Nose
as always with old bottles of Bowmore, this baby's got to breathe a little bit before the diamond is freed from its gangue. … zzz … zzz … There, the much anticipated and expected mangos… And the passion fruits … And the pink grapefruits … and this very delicate tobacco smoke … and these earths, leaves, tobaccos, mushrooms, precious liqueurs, kumquats, then pot-pourri, patchouli, ylang-ylang (very 1960s Bowmore)… Then soups, marrow quenelles, bouillons, ceps, even wee touches of lamb chorba (really!) The thing is, these Bowmores just never stop unfolding; they are the most fractal whiskies you could ever think of. And there, some Linzertorte! With water: emphasis on citrus. Grapefruits, citrons, clementines, oranges… Plus all the smaller ones that all chefs are currently adding to their food
restaurant Palate
bam, a lorryload of stewed tropical fruits. That's it, and that's a lot. As much as the nose never stopped evolving, this palate is immediate, almost instantaneous, and stunning. Grapefruits, maracuja, mangos, hints of pineapple and basta. With water: no, it needed that drop of water to burst into myriads of fruits. We shall not list them all, but citrus first, then small berries (even taxus – without the seeds, naturally), then Szechuan pepper and assorted 'sweeter' spices. It is even refreshing, you could quaff this whenever you're a little thirsty
timer Finish
medium and just immaculately fruity. I'm sure there are many fruits in there we haven't even heard of. Small berries from remote valleys high in the Himalayas or the in the Andes
