Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 보모어 특유의 트로피컬 과일과 셰리 우드가 빚은 마른 과일 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1971년 증류해 15년을 채운 이 세스탄테 보틀링은 옛 보모어 스타일의 망고와 패션프루트가 옅은 훈연과 어우러져 발전한다. 59도의 카스크 스트렝스는 팰럿에서 열대 과일과 건포도, 짭조름한 미네랄을 또렷하게 밀어올린다. 피니시는 과일의 단맛과 바다 소금이 깊게 머물러, 빈티지 보모어의 전설적인 결을 명확하게 드러낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
big, powerful, spirity and ultra-grassy. Huge notes of pencil shavings as well. Almost un-noseable in my opinion, so lets add water. With water: hmm, it’s this kind of development where you just don’t know whether it’s nice or not. On the one hand, the odd floral notes are well here (more heavy geranium than lavender) but on the other hand, there are also some very pleasant notes of cut hay, old nuts (err), old books, old Chinese tea (pu-erh), ginger… A cruel dilemma!
restaurant Palate
an incredible beast and a profile that I never encountered so far, how could I describe this?... Hmm… Let’s say five Aspirin Plus C effervescent tablets diluted in 5cl lemon juice (plus a dash of baking powder for good measure). You got it, this is extreme. With water: it’s better but still extreme. Hugely lemony, the peat being almost unnoticeable here. It reminds me more of some Rosebanks Rare Malt than of any other Bowmore. Well, I guess that’s what happens with independent bottlers – sometimes!
timer Finish
long but even more lemony. Lemony liquorice this time?
