Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
classic lightly sherried Bowmore, a bit fino-style, which means rather on fresh walnuts and a little mustard. Some orange liqueur as well, zests, then more farmy touches. Farmyard, hay, tobacco, hops… With water: leather, soot and chalk come out, together with hints of used matches
restaurant Palate
sweeter, powerful and a tad unusual. Some bitterness fights a creamy/jammy sweetness (marmalade) while some heavy spices are roaring in the background, including mustardy notes just like in the 1999. Some heavy liquorice as well, a lot of cardamom, pepper… In fact, it’s got something of some blackcurrant-flavoured mustard like they make in Burgundy, the whole being quite heavy. With water: a very grassy/walnutty sherry comes more to the front. A little whacky, I’d say
timer Finish
long, more on liquorice wood
