Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
wow, this is much more powerful! Starts on some extremely bold notes of coffee, café latte, torrefaction… Just superb. It then switches to some nice tary and rubbery notes, before a whole basket of fresh fruits explodes in front of your nose. Lots of lemons, grapefruit, tangerines, apples, peaches, gooseberries… Then comes the sea, and the smoke, with hints of wet animal (cleaned dog)… A magnificent young Bowmore with lots of development, complexity, compactness, balance… Totally perfect
restaurant Palate
wow! The nose was great, the palate is fantastic. Bold, punchy, coating, on some very strong notes of grapefruit, passion fruit and kiwi. Lots of fructose that keep it perfectly balanced, and sort of ‘lift’ the whole. Some coffee again, apple juice… Quite some pepper (perhaps even chilli) and some funny metallic tastes that play with your tongue. Lots happening in your mouth! Notes of liquorice, seawater, gentian eau de vie, perhaps a little clove… And a superb peat! Gets extremely salty, at that… A very, very playful young Bowmore, with a long and very satisfying finish. Very good news from Bowmore’s (through Berry Bros) if you ask me, I hope we’ll see more of this style! 92 points .
