Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
rather spirity, sharp at first nosing, very pure. Starts quite mineral, almost like a Riesling (flints, matchsticks, lemon), getting very smoky (garden fire) and maritime (fresh oysters, seashells). We have then some very nice grainy notes (soaked barley), notes of buttered mashed potatoes and something herbal (hay). A very fresh and clean Bowmore, extremely far from most young OB’s from the last years. Very, very ‘Islay’, whatever that means.
restaurant Palate
sweet and nervous, more typically ‘recent Bowmore’. Smoke, fruit liqueurs, boxed fruits, lavender crème… Something slightly unpleasant in that mixture, but that’s me, I guess. We have also quite some salt, liquorice, gentian roots, and a rather long, more classical, peaty and salty finish. Loads of salt! The nose was just great, hence my 83 points Bowmore 8 yo 1990/1999 (56.5%, The Whisky House – Donato, Italy, cask #3409)
