Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
ah, this one isn’t that different from the Berry Bros. Rougher, simpler, but there are these very nice coffeeish notes indeed. A little spirity, with some notes of pear eau de vie… Some smoke as well, burnt cake, grain… Quite close to a new make but enjoyable, no doubt. Some very nice farmy notes (hay, cow stable) coming through. Certainly a high quality/age ratio
restaurant Palate
wow, that’s nice! Very young and close to a fruit eau de vie but perfectly balanced. Sort of a peated pear eau de vie, if that was doable. Very peppery, with even lots of chilli this time. Pizza chilli sauce? Very nice fruity notes (pears, of course). Long and powerful finish, again funnily very salty. Did Bowmore start to use Loch Indaal water since a few years? Anyway, this baby is very clean and good for it’s age. I really like it (and call me old-fashioned, but God knows I usually don’t like immature whiskies!) 85 points . Bowmore 34 yo 1970/2005 (56.6%, Signatory Cask Strength, sherry butt #4689, 287 bottles)
