Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
not at all, sir! A wonderful profile, all made of elegant, light, maritime peat, fresh blood oranges (a little less ‘acidulated’ than regular ones), passion fruits, smoke (fireplace), shoe polish and something faintly metallic that’s often to be found in Bowmores from that era in our opinion. Very nice nose, getting a tad rounder and mellower after a few minutes, more honeyed. Loses a little ‘vivacity’
restaurant Palate
a punchy attack, they honeyed notes being right there together with quite some pepper and ginger. Gets then a little thick and faintly cardboardy and drying at the same time, maybe lacking a little more depth. As expected, there’s also a lot of salt. Really makes you salivate
timer Finish
a little short, maybe a little more on fruit drops. Less smoky but even saltier
