Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 깊은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 따라 느리게 미끄러진다. 코를 가까이 가져가면 망고와 패션프루트, 옅은 피트 연기가 솟아오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 52.1도의 도수가 혀를 또렷이 데우며 열대 과일과 셰리의 단맛, 바다의 짠기가 번진다. 셰리 캐스크에서 35년을 보낸 보모어는 옛 아일라 증류소다운 화려한 열대 과실과 부드러운 훈연을 한 잔에 단단히 엮어낸다. 삼키고 나면 달콤한 과일과 연기가 입천장에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold – amber
air Nose
starts very smoky and with quite some sherry (dry like a fino) and something rather vegetal (smoked tea, moss, fern.) Hints of tropical fruits after that (more oranges studded with cloves than passion fruits or mangos). Gets smokier with time, with notes of coal oven… And then lots of kumquats together with something clearly farmy (wet hay, ‘clean’ manure). Also dried kelp. Rather beautiful I must say
restaurant Palate
a bit dry at the attack, tannic, but not overly so, quite bold considering it’s only at 43% ABV. Quite citrusy again, ‘candied’, with a little peat and an enjoyable smokiness. Goes on with bitter chocolate, toffee, hints of rosehip tea, crystallised orange zests… The finish is rather long but alas, quite tannic, drying, almost like over-infused tea. But that’s no big flaw, the whole is great whisky, with rather more body than the older Seadragon (the ceramic version). 90 points . Bowmore 35 yo 1970/2006 (52.1%, Signatory for Waldhaus am See Hotel, Switzerland, cask #4691, 304 bottles)
