Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 부드럽게 일렁인다. 1969년 증류돼 서른세 해를 보낸 이 보모어는 열대 과일과 망고, 옅은 피트 연기가 신비롭게 얽혀 오른다. 입에 닿으면 패션프루트와 꿀, 바다 소금기의 짭조름함이 섬세하게 번진다. 42.5도의 도수가 긴 숙성으로 둥글어진 질감을 한없이 매끄럽게 만든다. 트로피컬한 단맛과 옅은 훈연의 여운이 길게 이어지며 전설적인 옛 보모어의 결을 전한다.
AITasting 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)
