Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 보모어 1968 빈티지의 트로피컬한 패션프루트와 오렌지 껍질이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 34년이라는 긴 오크 캐스크 숙성이 만든 우아한 과일 노트가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 팰럿에서는 43.3도가 입을 부드럽게 채우며 망고, 옅은 피트, 따스한 오크가 명확하게 드러난다. 아일라 빈티지의 구조감이 발전한다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 옅은 해초와 시트러스로 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
the bottle has obviously had time to breathe, and seldom do peat smoke, mango, passion fruit, and blood oranges harmonize so wonderfully. Touches of white truffles perfect the masterpiece, before a long procession of little fruity notes begin to unfold; Szechuan pepper, fresh hops, honeysuckle, yuzu, nectarines, myrtle… All of this is splendid
restaurant Palate
a palate recognisable among thousands, shared between peat and exotic fruits that keep dancing a wild tango, leading to those legendary salty notes. A bit of coffee and walnut liqueur also remind us that we're dealing with sherry casks, of rare elegance
timer Finish
of medium length, rich but very fresh, heavily marked by the small citrus fruits. The signature is extremely Bowmore-like, very saline. Commentary: these Bowmores were part of the world's greatest malts and we may not have heirs to them. The salty notes remind us of the legend of the casks that were rolled into the sea from the distillery dock to the "puffers" (those small boats used to transport the casks to the continent), which casks thereby absorbed a bit of sea water en route. But legend or reality?
