Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a mineral sherriness. Struck matches (no eggs, no cabbage), some pencil shavings, bitter oranges, burning fir cones, raisins, a little soy sauce and sweet game (with cranberry jam), some humus for sure… This is very compact, and rather complex at the same time. Needs breathing, but in my experience, any sherried Bowmore needs breathing, especially old bottles. With water: when some sherried whisky noses like bourbon, you know the wood’s been very active
restaurant Palate
the wood might be a little heavy, with more pencil shavings, some ginger, plenty of cinnamon and cloves, as well as quite a lot of nutmeg. A feeling of new or rejuvenated wood seasoned with sherry. On the other hand, there are very pleasant fruits, such as blood oranges… And some peat and pepper. With water: rye? I’m not joking
timer Finish
long. Ginger, pepper, nutmeg and raspberry jam
