Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가만히 돌리면 1969년 증류된 보모어가 35년 세월이 응축된 옅은 호박빛을 머금는다. 코끝에 가져가면 이 시대 보모어 특유의 열대 과일과 망고, 옅은 훈연이 섬세하게 피어오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 42.7도의 부드러운 질감 사이로 백도와 꿀, 잔잔한 바다 소금이 번진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 오래 숙성된 보모어다운 우아한 과일 향과 옅은 피트가 길게 따라온다.

air Nose
Yes! Really the epitome of Bowmore at its greatest. You have fruit that is primarily exotic and tropical in character but it is presented as this quivering, gelatinous mass around which orbits leathery, salty sherry, coastal subtleties, the most beguilingly fragrant peat smoke and various ancient and tertiary medicines. There’s herbs, seawater, petrichor, umami, waxes, camphor, salted liquorice, natural tar. Everything is just so powerful, vivid and assertive. And yet… also perfectly harmonised too. Nothing out of step or balance, everything keeping perfect time and pace. Whiskies like this present you with a conundrum: that time and base ingredients can create something so utterly beautiful it can drive you mad trying to figure out where the reach of the human hand ends and where nature takes over
restaurant Palate
(oh yes, I suppose we should actually taste some of it at some point) as thick and resinous and unctuous and fat as whisky can be at 43%. A dazzling collision of peat, smoke, herbs, fruits, salt, waxes, medicine and seashore. I also find a gentle but totally luxurious sweetness underpinning everything as well. Ok, enough, call the anti-maltoporn brigade and let’s get out of here quick
timer Finish
endless, meandering, thick - that word gelatinous comes to mind again - tarry, oily and just utterly, spellbindingly fruity
