Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 옅은 금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 흐른다. 코를 가까이 하면 보모어다운 부드러운 피트 연기와 바다 소금, 잘 익은 열대과일이 어우러진다. 한 모금을 머금으면 52.6도의 기운이 혀를 감싸며 훈연과 망고, 꿀이 번진다. 21년을 호그스헤드에서 보낸 이 아일라 몰트는 오랜 숙성이 빚은 과일 향과 은은한 연기의 균형을 보여준다. 삼키면 옅은 훈연과 과일 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine

f***k it and s***w this, this is perfect. We all know that Bowmore have been making a stunning spirit since the early-to-mid 1990s, and this is just another fine example. Brine, lemon juice, smoked waters, hessian, oysters, langoustines (coz I know some friends don’t like oysters), lemon-scented candle wax, olive brine… With water: that old tweed jacket after a long walk near Machir bay. It was raining again
restaurant Palate
well, there’s something slightly weird, something like plastic, but other than that, all is perfectly brine-y and lemony. With water: a little less plastic, rather a deep brine-y and lemony combo. White tequila. Some kind of Islay margarita, in other words. And I’m even finding traces of gin (you know, that Sassenach thing that just everyone’s making these days – what, you say the Scots invented gin too???)
timer Finish
long, good, brine-y, smoky
