Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
sharp, medicinal (mercurochrome), Sancerre-y (sauvignon blanc indeed), with some chalk and a little sour cream, Swiss cheese, Greek yoghurt… All things that work well in such whiskies. With water: gets rather fatter, more on toasted bread, bread pudding, then just yoghurt sauce (for kebab) and then raw wool, which is more common in these Bowmores. Good fun
restaurant Palate
peppered seawater and lemon liqueur. Some fatness, touches of smoked salmon, green bell pepper, Thai basil… It's a rather robust one and not quite one of those vertical late-1990s Bowies. I mean Bowmores. With water: everything falls into place, even if it would remain fattish. Rather a lot of pepper, ala Talisker. Something reminiscent of pencil shavings too, ala… Caran d'Ache
timer Finish
long, with some lovely spices that are not easy to pin down: wood or distillate?
