Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
rather discreet at first nosing, with faint whiffs of yellow flowers from the fields, banana skin and vanilla as well as a little honey (light breakfast honey like they serve you in most hotels). Actually, it never really takes off without water. With water: huge saponification… Let’s wait. After a few minutes: water brought out a few tropical fruits but it also made the tannins bigger and drier, like if it was a 35yo whisky, a bit tired. Strange
restaurant Palate
much better than on the nose when neat, candied and very fruity (oranges, butter pears). Alas, it gets then a little drying and oaky. With water: that work on the palate, we have now fruit salad with lots of bananas, oranges and tangerines
timer Finish
quite long, honeyed and vanilled. A Bowmofre dating from the time when the ‘tropical fruits’ changed to more ‘northern’ ones. Good whisky, more interesting with water. 86 points . Bowmore 1976/1989 (60%, McLelland's for Scotch Single Malt Circle, cask #1976/47)
