Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 중심 바닷가에 자리한 보모어는 섬에서 가장 오래된 증류소답게 바다와 피트를 함께 품는다. 1973년 증류돼 16년을 보낸 이 전설적인 보틀링은 잔에 짙은 황금빛을 담는다. 잘 익은 망고와 자몽, 옅은 훈연의 향이 화사하게 솟아오르고, 62.8도의 강렬한 힘을 타고 입에서는 열대 과일과 바닷소금, 달큰한 피트가 진하게 번진다. 옛 보모어 특유의 과일 향이 길게 이어진다.

air Nose
yeedla-yodla-yeeeh… This is almost un-noseable, even when you try to use the well-know ‘short-wee-sniffs’ tactics. It would just climb up your nostrils, annihilate your olfactory bulb and then assault your brain. Well, I do get a little brine in fact… And tankers of nail polish remover. Ah well… With water (after having waited for fifteen minutes, because adding a good third of water to a whisky shakes the molecules too much): fantastic! Touches of tropical fruits ‘from the 1960s’ and an astounding combination of pine cone smoke, oysters, camphor and hessian. Stunning

sipping this might be the equivalent of doing some bungee jumping in Northern Afghanistan. Risky. I seem to get some salty grapefruit though, but frankly, it’s too strong. With water: perfection made whisky. It’s not complex, nor is it wide, but this ‘narrowness’ is an asset in this context. Passion fruits chutney on Asian-style smoked oysters, with just a little olive oil. Yay!
timer Finish
very long, smokier, ashier, sootier. Grapefruits and fresh coriander in the aftertaste
