Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
starts as animal as a fairly young sherried Bowmore can get. Hare’s belly (readers keep asking us if we mean Halle Berry and we keep answering no!), old leather, pipe tobacco, strong liquorice, then new leather (very vivid), dried kelp, seashells, raw chocolate, cigar box, freshly ground pepper (huge) and dried mushrooms (boletus). Wonderfully organic, lovers of the genre will adore this one. With water (‘though water may not be needed): more leather and more game
restaurant Palate
extremely thick, rich, creamy, almost ‘screamingly’ concentrated. Heavy peat and heavy sherry, which creates a huge ‘sweet spiciness’. Gingerbread, crystallised oranges, tangerine liqueur, honey and pepper liqueur (it’s called Slavyanskaya in Russia), cardamom again, baklavas… How rich! With water: it got even spicier and drier, and more orangey at the same time. Strictly no offbeat notes and no sulphur/rubber, which isn’t too frequent with heavily sherried peaty whiskies
timer Finish
very long, orangey and leathery, with quite some salt now (more salt when naked, less when reduced)
