Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
an extremely nice sharpness at first nosing, typically Bowmore, with a rather beautiful smoke, lots of iodine and discreet hints of violets. Develops on ‘the distillery’, with a little mash, peated malt, lapsang souchong tea, oysters, other kinds of seashells (sorry I’m no expert), ashes… Also hints of fresh apple juice and quite some freshly squeezed lemons… Perfect ‘rather recent’ Bowmore, as pure as one can get. Little wood influence
restaurant Palate
excellently peaty and maritime, much closer to Islay’s south shore malts. Crystal-clean peat, pepper, salt and lemon. That’s all but that’s a lot, considering the perfect balance. Long, very peaty finish. Not complex but just perfect. 90 points . Bowmore 19 yo 1987/2007 (52.1%, Duncan Taylor, cask #18052, 263 bottles)
