Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 시간이 응축된 깊은 호박빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 아일라 보모어의 1969년 빈티지가 36년의 숙성 끝에 빚어낸 향에는 트로피컬 망고와 옅은 짠 피트, 들꽃의 결이 동시에 닿는다. 입에서는 잘 익은 패션프루트와 미세한 바다 짠기, 마른 허브가 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 44도의 도수는 시간이 둥글게 다듬은 듯 부드럽다. 여운에는 옅은 피트 잔연기와 한 점의 백후추, 마른 풀이 잔잔히 깃들어 길게 이어진다.

a genuine fruit bomb. One still wonders why Bowmore (and Laphroaig too) threw away the recipe! It’s really just an astonishing fruit salad from every continent, with mango, passion fruit and those dainty pink bananas taking the lead, before—slightly fashionably late, we must say—mineral and ashy touches stroll in ‘for the glory’, as it were. There’s also fresh mint, lavender honey, a touch of candle wax, and a whisper of new fabric. That’ll do, we’ve not got all day, but just to note, the minerality builds in stature, though it never dares unseat the fruit salad, which sits proudly on the throne…
restaurant Palate
this is getting embarrassing. We’re moving into citrus overload territory, layered with all sorts of ashes and those wonderfully salty Bowmore notes said—after a few drams—to come from the barrels having been rolled through Loch Indaal to reach the puffers when they couldn’t dock at the pier. Aye well, take that as you will
timer Finish
long, even saltier, with a touch of ultra-premium margarita, grapefruit and salt in the dying embers
