Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 바닷가의 짠 안개가 35년의 시간 동안 보모어의 캐릭터에 깊이 스며들었다. 잔에는 진한 호박빛이 묵직하게 흐른다. 향은 퍼스트 필 셰리 버트가 빚어낸 다크 초콜릿과 말린 자두, 가벼운 바다 소금기가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 토피와 무화과, 옅은 오일리 피트가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 51.9도가 흔들림 없는 골격을 만든다. 짠 미네랄과 시거 박스의 잔향이 오래 이어진다.
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)
