Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 가장자리에 짙은 호박빛이 빈티지 보틀 특유의 톤으로 비친다. 노즈에는 1965 보모어의 트로피컬 프루트, 망고와 패션프루트가 가장 먼저 올라오고 그 뒤로 옅은 피트 연기와 백후추가 따라붙는다. 입에서는 잘 익은 파파야와 마른 꿀, 옅은 훈제 톤이 부드러운 질감으로 흐르고 48.5도의 알코올이 둥근 균형을 만든다. 여운은 트로피컬 프루트의 잔향과 옅은 바닷바람으로 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Amber
air Nose
Flinty at first with a kind of vegetal earthiness. Not an uber-tropical example of 60s Bowmore. Instead we have some coastal funk like grilled whelks, a few smouldering peat embers, sautéed mushrooms, camphor and notes of soot, squid ink and beach bonfires. With a little breathing a smoky minerality emerges, alongside dried herbs, sandalwood and some more medicinal touches such as mercurochrome and dettol. There’s also a increasingly meaty aspect like fennel sausage or salami. Really quite complex. Not the easiest or most straightforward of old Bowmores but extremely satisfying to nose away at for ages. The fruitiness is more on nervous citrus notes and a few green apples and tart gooseberry
restaurant Palate
Pow! Much more evidently peaty on the palate. Big notes of tarry fishnets, oily kippers, soot, hessian, camphor, pitch and some smoked mussels in brine. Goes on with black olives, rosemary, lapsang souchong and a little smoked mead (although I’m sure that isn’t a thing - even if it should be!). Fantastically oily, briny, smouldering and punchy with a resilient salt and pepper edge to it
timer Finish
Long, earthy, herbal and peaty with preserved lemons, sardines in olive oil and many rugged coastal complexities
