Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1963 빈티지 보모어의 묵은 트로피컬 흔적, 잘 익은 망고, 짭조름한 미네랄, 가벼운 피트 잔향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 43도 보디 위에 망고 사탕, 야생 꿀, 미네랄이 명확하게 드러나며 25년 숙성과 1989년 보틀링의 시대적 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 미네랄과 야생 꿀 톤이 길게 이어진다. Hart Brothers가 보존한 60년대 보모어의 트로피컬 캐릭터가 또렷이 정리된다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
the bottle has obviously had time to breathe, and seldom do peat smoke, mango, passion fruit, and blood oranges harmonize so wonderfully. Touches of white truffles perfect the masterpiece, before a long procession of little fruity notes begin to unfold; Szechuan pepper, fresh hops, honeysuckle, yuzu, nectarines, myrtle… All of this is splendid
restaurant Palate
a palate recognisable among thousands, shared between peat and exotic fruits that keep dancing a wild tango, leading to those legendary salty notes. A bit of coffee and walnut liqueur also remind us that we're dealing with sherry casks, of rare elegance
timer Finish
of medium length, rich but very fresh, heavily marked by the small citrus fruits. The signature is extremely Bowmore-like, very saline. Commentary: these Bowmores were part of the world's greatest malts and we may not have heirs to them. The salty notes remind us of the legend of the casks that were rolled into the sea from the distillery dock to the "puffers" (those small boats used to transport the casks to the continent), which casks thereby absorbed a bit of sea water en route. But legend or reality?
