Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

intriguing indeed, since it’s not typically Bowmore. For instance, there’s little tropicalness, and rather a combination of honey, chocolate, praline, and cakes. Some green tea as well, earl grey, green tobacco, a wee bit of rusty tin, then rather some oldish leather, old polished furniture, a touch of camphor… It’s quite complex indeed, and while I do not find any Auchentoshan, there could well be some early 1970s Glen Garioch. Not bad news!

restaurant Palate

hesitates for a few seconds, just before a peppery and smoky blast occurs. It’s to be remembered that Glen Garioch was peaty back then! So rather not a Bowmorian peat here, rather a combination of farmy and coastal peats. Yeah. Also Glen Garioch’s leathery side, and Bowmore’s tropical fruits. I have to say it loses you a bit, but it’s certainly very good. Perhaps a little too much paraffin?

timer Finish

rather long, and rather more both tropical and topical. So Bowmorian. Mango chutney and milk chocolate. Sadly, the aftertaste is a little soapy
