Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 어린다. 1971년 증류된 보모어는 세스탄테가 선보인 옛 아일라 보틀링으로, 반세기를 건너온 원액이다. 향에서는 은은한 피트 연기와 열대 과일, 바닷소금이 어우러진다. 입에서는 망고와 패션프루트 같은 농익은 과일 위로 옅은 훈연과 짭조름함이 스민다. 59.1도의 힘이 풍미를 단단히 받치며 과일과 연기가 어우러진 긴 여운을 남긴다.
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?
