Tasting Notes

Colour

blush wine – onion peel (I mean, really)

air Nose

much cleaner than expected, with some rather delicate peat mixed with notes of blackberries and bananas – the whole going pretty well together. Goes on with some very mineral notes, whiffs of diesel oil, smoked meat, hot butter… And also some gingerbread, cloves (lots), fruitcake, gladiolus… It gets then very maritime, with some bold notes of oysters, seaweed… I feel they pulled something off with this one (and God knows I was sceptical). And no dreadful lavender!

restaurant Palate

well, it could not have been quite as complex and thrilling as the nose, could it? Sweet, slightly sugarish (bubblegum, marshmallows) at first sip, with the peat in the background but no actual mixing of flavours. A bit of icing sugar, tealeaves, pepper… It’s not bad at all but rather far from the fantastic nose. The finish is medium long, smoky and fruity (grapefruit)… But what a stunning nose! 85 points altogether – (but the nose was worth 90+) Bowmore 15 yo 1990/2005 (54.5%, Jack Wieber Scottish Castles, cask 1175)
