Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

it’s not that this baby’s much more complex or refined than the previous one, it’s just that it’s much cleaner, straighter, more essentially Bowmore (as they say in magazines). Now there’s a farmy side to it, a nose of working kiln, and bags and bags of ashes. A fireplace the next morning. With water: really, it’s the kiln! Barley, peat smoke, old wood, the workers’ aftershave (hey I’m joking!) And just a drop of poire williams

restaurant Palate

bang! Nails you a bit at this strength, but I like this citrus mingled with a huge smokiness. With water: impeccable whistle-clean Bowmoreness. Ashy lemony sooty briny peat

timer Finish

long, maybe a tad acrid, but that’s more than all right
