Tasting Notes
air Nose
aha, lots of vivacity, and lots of peat in there. Very fresh, smoky, mashy and maritime, with whiffs of hot coffee and toasted cake. Maybe it’s simple but there isn’t one single offbeat note - and no odd wood treatments (that often work so weirdly with a classic beauty such as a ‘natural’ Bowmore). Lots of iodine, seaweed, breeze, then hints of gentian spirit (are you reading this, Juergen?) ashes and maybe a little mustard… Very good even if, again, simple. Ah, nature!
restaurant Palate
imagine a smoked grapefruit juice, mixed with some cold, un-sugared tea and you get the picture. Not much development after that but I like this kind of compactness and ‘straight-to-the-point-ness’. The finish is rather long, smoky, peaty, getting also a little spicy (cardamom and pepper) and maybe a tad dusty. A good one, definitely
