Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

ah, a Bowmoreness. We’re talking 1980s Bowmore. Grenadine? Fruit leaves and peel, vanilla, and a very moderate smoke. Earl grey. A bizarre nose I have to say…

restaurant Palate

it is, indeed, a little bizarre, but it’s pretty good. A lot of cask influence again, this time rather towards caraway (and clove), sour fruits, herbal teas (I’m thinking hawthorn)… It’s quite smoky as well, of course, smokier than the previous ones for sure

timer Finish

long, spicy, with an obvious oak influence. Fruit bonbons in the aftertaste. Another one that’s pretty oak-driven, rather than distillate-driven
