Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크 캐스크에서 31년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 1968년 증류한 아일라 보모어의 피트 스피릿을 부드러운 열대 과실로 끌어올렸다. 망고와 패션프루트, 잦아든 바다 내음이 먼저 올라오고, 44도의 도수가 입안에서 잘 익은 과실과 꿀, 은은한 훈연을 또렷하게 펼쳐 보인다. 반세기 가까운 세월이 거친 연기를 과실로 바꿔, 짙은 황금빛 너머로 트로피컬 프루트와 옅은 피트의 여운이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
ah yes, this one is on full passion fruit and tangerine mode. It really smells like fruit juice, developing on something waxy (rubbed lemon skin, lamp oil) and also gin fizz. It’s also quite buttery but the wood is very discreet despite its old age. Just faint whiffs of ginger and vanilla… It becomes very grapefruity after a moment. The whole isn’t too complex but very, very enjoyable if you like acidulous fruits
restaurant Palate
phew, what a relief… It’s not woody or tired in any way, quite on the contrary. We do have all the fruits again (citrus fruits, tropical fruits, the whole shebang) and a fine tannic structure that keeps the whole quite vibrant. It then focuses on fresh pineapples with a little caramel and ginger… Yummie, as our Belgian friends would say. The finish isn’t too long, naturally, but compact and focused on fruits, with just a little pepper arising now. Anyway, an archetypical 1968 Bowmore in all simplicity. Not complex but almost perfect. 91 points . Bowmore 31 yo 1968/1999 (44%, Signatory Millenium Edition, cask #5820, 252 bottles)
