Tasting Notes

air Nose
wine is best in whisky when you just don’t notice it. That’s kind of the case here, as everything’s fine, the spirit’s dancing in the moonlight (what?) and anything from the sea is doing its job to perfection. Clams, seaweed… Also Islay mud, grass, charcoal, baker’s yeast… All fine. With water: sourdough, mud and damp fabric, that’s what we were expecting

I’m not saying the ‘clean’ spirit wouldn’t have been better, and European oak’s not always easy to control (pst, fresh first, for a short time; second used, for a long time), but we’re fine in this very case, the oak brings additional spices (green ones) and the wine imparts tiny bits of apricots and plums. Perhaps. Other than that, it’s a pretty almondy Bowmore, with some paraffin and some limoncello. With water: do not add too much water. Wine-finished whiskies usually swim badly (insult to injury, etc.) but just a few drops work very well here, making the spirit brighter, fruitier, and simply more ‘Bowmore’
timer Finish
medium, rather herbal. Green smokiness
