Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 아일라 특유의 바닷내와 옅은 피트 연기가 먼저 인사한다. 가볍게 흔들어 향을 깨우면 1982년 보모어가 품은 열대 과일과 망고, 짭조름한 해조류가 차례로 드러난다. 한 모금 머금으면 23년 세월이 다듬은 부드러운 훈연이 54.7도의 힘과 함께 혀 위로 번진다. 천천히 삼키면 달큰한 과실과 바닷소금의 여운이 입천장을 오래 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a little rounder, more buttery and fruity, much less nicely sharp as the 1980. More on apple juice, pepper, geranium, grenadine, maybe raspberry jam… Gets fruitier and fruitier, less peaty, smoky and maritime than the 1980 and certainly smoother and rounder. No ‘wrong’ notes, that is, just a very different profile, more on flowers and fruits. The distillation regime is clearly different, you can really feel that they diminished the smokiness and peatiness in favour of these ‘sweetish’ notes
restaurant Palate
yes, this is clearly something different. Again we have these heavy notes of raspberry jam, grenadine, rose-flavoured Turkish delight, violet sweets… There’s quite some peat and pepper of course but the ‘fruits and flowers’ are almost violent. The whole is as exuberant as a gewürztraminer. Despite the ‘different’ profile balance is achieved and especially the finish has a nice mix of peat and fruits. I don’t like this profile too much but this far from being flawed, quite the contrary. I’m sure many Bowmore freaks will love this prototypical Bowmore from the 1980’s. One to put into your reference library. 83 points . Bowmore 1982/2006 (54.7%, Taste Still Selection, cask #85027, 207 bottles) Back to the early 1980’s…
