Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
this one is quite nutty, malty and cereally, with hints of toasted bread and coffee as well as a little grass. Keeps a little shy for a while but then we have quite some sherry coming through as well as roughly the same aromas as in the older 15yo, that is to say peaches, honey, pollen and beeswax. Also very ripe gooseberries and plums and a similar smokiness as well. Gains complexity with breathing, with a wider palette of fruity aromas (melons, guavas, strawberries, sultanas…) Very, very elegant
restaurant Palate
more sherry at the attack, with quite some kirschy notes. Huge maltiness again. Slight rubber – nothing disturbing – and lots of cooked fruits (apricots) and orange marmalade, with that slight bitterness. The nose didn’t need any water but let’s try what happens on the palate (while the nose got nicely mentholated): it got fruitier but maybe a little simpler too, more orangey. No real improvement – not that it needed any
timer Finish
rather long, a little spicy now (ginger and cloves) and just a tad rubbery again. Maybe not the most characterful of all malt whiskies, even at cask strength, but it’s got something to say and is certainly very palatable. 85 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: they are just fabulous I think, they are Nick's beloved Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and they are playing Wuthering Heights.mp3 (from Anarchy in the Ukulele - LOL - better than Kate Bush if you ask me). Please, please, buy their music... June 12, 2007 THE FEIS ILE SESSIONS – FOUR OLD BOWMORES Bowmore 33 yo 1969/2003 (42.5%, Duncan Taylor Peerless, cask #6085, 238 bottles)
