Tasting Notes
Colour
gold – amber
air Nose
very powerful and much peatier than usual, with nice candied sherry tones and an enjoyable sharpness. Truly coastal (fisherman’s nets) and very smoky. Huge plate of oysters with kind of caramel sauce? It gets then more animal and meaty, with hints of game, soy sauce, then shoe polish, wet dog… Truly superb but a tad too powerful for me, let’s try it with water: ho-ho, now we have superb notes of beeswax, old pu-erh tea (and you may know what I think of old pu-erh teas), tiger balm, leather (brand new high-end car), unlit pipe tobacco… Fab!
restaurant Palate
amazingly creamy and silky yet very punchy. Extremely oily mouth feel. Beautiful peat, crystallized oranges, vanilla-flavoured toffee, quince jelly, white pepper, butter caramel, white nougat, orange liqueurs (pick your brand), violet sweets, strawberry jam… Fantastically rich, sweet and peaty. Not unlike, let’s say a peaty orange liqueur. I love this. No need of water on the palate, let’s go directly to the palate which is long, yet incredibly compact, candied, smoky and delicately spicy. Top notch Bowmore, hugely satisfying. 92 points . Bowmore 16 yo 1990/2007 (58.4%, Whisky-Doris)
