Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1974년 빈티지 보모어 41년의 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안쪽을 천천히 흘러내린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 트로피컬 과일과 옅은 바다 공기, 식어가는 피트의 향이 차례로 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 50.4%의 도수가 입안에서 70년대 보모어 특유의 망고와 패션프룻, 부드러운 피트의 결로 풀려나간다. 삼킨 뒤에도 1974 보모어의 전설적인 트로피컬 잔향이 입천장에 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
jellied fruits at first. Lots of pineapple, guava, green apple, ripe banana - all in rather confectionary form. There’s also some apple crumble and custard. Behind that comes a big coastal inflection - lots of sandalwood, beach pebbles, crushed seashells and seaweed in miso broth. A fun mix of sweet and savoury but it works well and maintains balance. I also get ink, some waxed canvas, hessian and a dry earthiness. A tiny farmy note enters the proceedings as well. Very good so far, we’re straddling two different Bowmore universes here. With water: the salty and smoky aspects gain more dominance. Notes of hot wash, sourdough, bonfire embers, cooking oils and some lemon barley water
restaurant Palate
again sweet and salty. Lots of glazed pastries, salted peanuts, sooty qualities, smoked cereals, lemon jelly, wee hints of iodine and delicate medical embrocations and things like herbal toothpaste and carbon paper. Some plasticine and touches of brake fluid as well. Unusual old Bowmore. With water: more herbal, cough medicines, olive oil, mint leaf, very lightly tarry and things like camphor and salted butter
timer Finish
rather long, lemony, medical, sooty and returning to this coastal aspect with hints of seawater, black olive and coal smoke
