Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bronze/gold (nails in the cask?)
air Nose
it’s not extremely expressive in my opinion, maybe it’s a tad blocked and needs water? But other than that, it’s very pleasantly mineral, with all sorts of leathery/flinty notes. I mean shoe polish ;-), walnuts, tobacco, beach sand, liquorice, humus/mushrooms, pu-erh tea, orange peelings, quite some hay, pot-pourri… With water: as often with Bowmore, it got rather farmy in a way that could also be seen as ‘faintly chemical’ but that’s absolutely not unpleasant in this context, quite the opposite. Fertilizer?
restaurant Palate
excellent! An earthy and lemony attack with a saltiness quick to kick in, more peat, leather, chewing tobacco, liquorice… Big and sharp at the same time. A little Cointreau to make the whole a wee tad rounder. With water: it got rather earthier, as expected. A little more leathery as well
timer Finish
long, on some kind of peated orange liqueur?
