Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it’s hardly fathomable that this baby comes from the same distillery. And yet it’s no clean and tidy Bowmore, and yes there are whiffs of sweets and fruit jams, but those come from the sherry, while the spirit behind all that remains pure, clean, coastal and fruity

restaurant Palate

good mild sherry that blends well with the briny spirit. Balance is achieved. There’s cassis again but that works well now, also cherry-flavoured tobacco (I used to know a brand but I’ve forgotten – old age you know) and then a swimming-poolful of brine. Gets a little leathery, but all remains fine

timer Finish

long, peppery, smoky. The extra-3.5% really feel
