straw
air Nose
a rather discrete, but very elegant Bowmore, starting on a straight mix of grains and smoke, needing a little time to develop it seems. Starts to take off only after a few minutes, passing by notes of ‘wet newspaper’ and getting then to the expected ‘coastality’ (yup, we’re masters at stupid barbarisms.) Wet limestone and kelp, with very light notes of summer comté cheese (absolutely lovable.) Doesn’t stop getting more elegant. Pencil lead and almonds
restaurant Palate
it’s not the first time that I say that I love the current young Bowmores and this is just another proof of their high quality. Uber-martime, salty, smoky, peaty… One to sprinkle over smoked salmon! Extremely straightforward (but not complex at all – do we really always need complexity?) Also notes of fresh almonds and a little grapefruit
timer Finish
medium to long, a little more mineral now
