Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 트로피컬 과일과 옅은 훈연이 명확하게 드러난다. 소테른 캐스크에서 26년을 보낸 보모어답게 단 와인의 꿀 같은 결이 바다 내음과 어우러진다. 팰럿에서는 망고와 살구, 부드러운 피트가 50.9도의 균형 잡힌 구조로 발전한다. 오래 묵은 보모어다운 우아한 짜임이 단단하며, 피니시는 달콤한 과실과 가벼운 재가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes

wine is best in whisky when you just don’t notice it. That’s kind of the case here, as everything’s fine, the spirit’s dancing in the moonlight (what?) and anything from the sea is doing its job to perfection. Clams, seaweed… Also Islay mud, grass, charcoal, baker’s yeast… All fine. With water: sourdough, mud and damp fabric, that’s what we were expecting
restaurant Palate
I’m not saying the ‘clean’ spirit wouldn’t have been better, and European oak’s not always easy to control (pst, fresh first, for a short time; second used, for a long time), but we’re fine in this very case, the oak brings additional spices (green ones) and the wine imparts tiny bits of apricots and plums. Perhaps. Other than that, it’s a pretty almondy Bowmore, with some paraffin and some limoncello. With water: do not add too much water. Wine-finished whiskies usually swim badly (insult to injury, etc.) but just a few drops work very well here, making the spirit brighter, fruitier, and simply more ‘Bowmore’
timer Finish
medium, rather herbal. Green smokiness
