Tasting 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…
