Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it is a sweet, fruity and floral Bowmore but I do not find much lavender, violets or any other FWP-ish notes. Hurray! Rather some earth, roots, branches, tincture of iodine, seaweed, oysters... All is fine, all is fine. With water: a little brown sugar comes out. A little coffee too
restaurant Palate
it's a very briny one, and then it becomes very medicinal. Huge notes of pine needles, fir liqueur, pinesap, cough medicine and such. It's a different kind of medicinal side than that of Laphroaig, which is more on antiseptic and such. With water: excellent. Smoked grapefruits and rather less resinous/sappy things
timer Finish
long, earthy, salty and citrusy. Big peat. Maybe touches of grenadine now, but that's rather an asset. Blood oranges, pepper. All perfect
