Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
so very close to the SCSM, just a wee tad rounder, as if the cask had been a wee tad more active. Other than that, grapefruits, lime, seawater, and perhaps a drop of liquid paraffin. Love this. With water: those broken branches, or fresh almonds. A drop of verjuice
restaurant Palate
more differences this time, indeed this is rather fatter, creamier, so less crystalline, and rather more on lemon marmalade than on straight juice. But that additional richness is clean and works extremely well ‘on’ Bowmore. Some sides remind me of the first official ‘Tempest’. With water: oh lovely. Tangerines, Seville oranges, some beeswax, all that on a tighter canvas (lemons and seawater)
timer Finish
rather long, grassier, but perfect. Aftertaste: who added some caipirinha? And more smoke? And some pepper?
