Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
the sherry is discreet and the whole is just as discreet but extremely elegant. Stunning and subtle whiffs of old eucalyptus liqueur, natural turpentine, graphite oil and linseed, although it slowly takes off, gradually becoming more ‘straight Bowmore’, that is to say briny, lemony and smoky. Also superb notes of pink grapefruits. With water: a tad more narrow and mineral this time. Rocks, hay, blood oranges, rabbit hutch
restaurant Palate
perfect, very perfect. Peated grapefruits and something funnily prickly and fizzy, lemon squash, Schweppes, citrons… Ultra-zesty, it’s almost hyper-cool climate Riesling. With water: pretty magnificent. Champagne
timer Finish
long, very clean, just as zesty. Probably even more on the lemony side
