Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서 가장 먼저 감지되는 것은 옅은 훈연과 말린 과일, 트로피컬한 과실 향이다. 1957년 증류된 보모어는 셰리 우드에서 31년을 보낸 올드 아일라 몰트답게 절제된 피트와 깊은 단맛이 또렷하게 어우러진다. 입에서는 40도의 낮은 도수가 부드럽게 흐르며 망고와 흑설탕, 은은한 그을음을 발전시킨다. 반세기 가까운 시간이 만든 둥근 균형이 입안에 드러난다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 옅은 연기의 여운이 길게 이어진다.

what’s most interesting is that aside from the very obvious (if rather light in this instance) exotic fruits, there is an allusion to this more perfumed and lavender side which is more associated with 80s Bowmore. We talk about whether this is a character which has always been present to varying degrees in Bowmore - I’m inclined to think it probably is. This is not excessive or soapy, rather I get the impression of citrus bath salts, heather flowers and a more lean minerality than you might expect from 50s Bowmore which is more reminiscent of the early 70s style. There’s also some pink sea salt and sandalwood. Extremely fragrant and more coastal than I would have expected. In time it moves more towards direct aromas of mango, guava and pineapple
restaurant Palate
indeed there is a kiss of lavender but there’s also extremely fragrant and beautiful coastal and seashore complexities. Seagreens, gorse, myrtle, dried seaweed, fresh citrus peels, tart grapefruit juice and slightly stinging salinity. Also things like linens, orange water, chalky minerals and a little sooty note
timer Finish
good length. Not the longest but lingering, fragrant and showing a rather chiselled saltiness, crushed seashells, fish sauce and some smoked herbs in the aftertaste
