Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛이 잔 속에 부드럽게 비친다. 1966년 빈티지의 보모어가 36년을 보낸 후 40도로 병입된 이 하트 브라더스 보틀링은 빈티지 아일라 특유의 열대 과실과 절제된 토탄 연기를 함께 안고 있다. 향에서는 망고와 패션후르츠, 가벼운 훈연 향이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 입에 닿으면 무르익은 파파야와 미네랄, 옅은 바다 짠맛이 흐른다. 도수가 낮은 만큼 거친 자극은 없고 섬세한 과실미가 중심에 놓인다. 이 보틀링이 보여 주는 결은 같은 빈티지 안에서도 보기 드물다. 여운은 옅은 연기와 단 과일의 기억으로 길게 이어진다.

air Nose
and here is this incredible profile that suggests a little demon decided to mix mango and clementine juices with heavy fuel and seawater. This nose is not at all tired, on the contrary, it reminds us of the best Bowmores of the 1960s that were bottled nearly thirty years ago (my God, already). Of course, that cannot be the case, but one could almost imagine that this barrel was transferred into demi-johns at a certain point, in the manner of some great cognacs. This nose is sumptuous, that's all. Oh, and those juicy peaches!
restaurant Palate
not the slightest trace of tiredness, a very fine woodiness, and our much-anticipated slightly salty and tarry exotic fruits. The mangos of course, but also the bananas, indeed the clementines, and passion fruits, papayas... Then seawater and shellfish, while the whole becomes more and more maritime and, consequently, less tropical. But it remains masterful and of great finesse all along, while the sensation in the mouth is very imposing for a whisky offered at just over the minimum official requirement of 40% vol
timer Finish
even the finish is rather long, extremely Bowmore-like, with a bit of tar this time, a very marked salinity, and fruit peels afterwards. Some ashes and bitter almonds in the aftertaste
