Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
no lavender, rather sloe gin (I agree there are similarities), seawater, paraffin, limoncello, and garden smoke. Remember when we could still burn branches, leaves and grass in our gardens, and not get instantly jailed or at least fined? With still water (yesterday I inadvertently poured some sparkling water into one of the old Bowmores!): more mud and more damp fabric, as almost always. Dough, fresh bread…
restaurant Palate
so very typically untouched middle-aged Bowmore! No whacky woods or wines, rather a pure, almost crystalline development on all things lemons, stones, brines and waxes. A grassy, bitter smokiness that works very well. With water: immaculate lemony brine
timer Finish
rather long, and really very salty now. You even feel salt on your lips when you lick them
