Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it starts mellower than expected, peaty but rather discretely so considering it’s a very young Bowmore, on notes of mash and beer but the coastal elements are soon to arrive (kelp and oysters). Quite some vanilla as well, lemons, and even hints of mangos like in some much, much older versions. ‘Smoked porridge’, coffee. Not youngish at all
restaurant Palate
starts very, very malty and develops mostly on coffee, chicory, tea and yes, here it is, sherry. Pleasant dryness. Just like on the nose, the peat isn’t explosive but on the other hand, there’s a lot of salt
timer Finish
medium long but incredibly salty now, with also a certain grassiness. Good Bowmore that really tastes older than just 6 years old. And how salty it is! One to search for if you don’t have a very salty whisky in your bar, it’s quite spectacular I think
