Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very saline and sharply coastal at first. Lots of raw lemon juice, pink sea salt, pears, sheep wool, oysters, petrol, lime juice, coal dust and a slightly fragrant heathery aspect. There are a few classical Bowmore fruit notes as well but they’re really buried under this ocean of seashell, minerals, brine and pin-sharp freshness. Very ‘millimetric’ as Serge would say. With water: super medicinal now. Lots of embrocations, bandages, ointments and starchy notes. Cornflour, putty, rock pools and wet seaweed
restaurant Palate
superb! Lemon oils, scented waxes, citronella, sandalwood, seaweed, beach pebbles, squid ink and even a sprig of mint. The fruits are pronounced as well. Still a fair bit of oily sheep wool but also lots of raw barley, kiln smoke and sourdough. With water: still sharp and pure but with an added layer of fruits such as tangerine and melon with a fuller thickness to the texture
timer Finish
long, full of raw barley, smoke, peat embers, lemon peel, yeast, wood ash and brine
