Tasting Notes

Colour

amber-bronze

air Nose

it seems that Bowmore shows off first, with lots of tropical fruits, passion, mangos, guavas… Then we have light caramel, heather honey, apricot, ripe melon (Bruichladdich?), oranges… Little oak or tannins… Brilliant but probably dangerously drinkable

restaurant Palate

creamy but playful, very coherent with the knows. Not sure the Bowmore steals the show but there’s lots of passion fruits again as well as camomile, white wine (sweet chenin from the Loire), oranges, pink grapefruit… Extremely fruity! We have a little tannins now but they rather bring some structure than dryness. Superb. The finish isn’t too long but balanced, with aa little rum and ripe bananas. Well, that’s excellent! Probably not very powerful but so sippable and not tired at all. A flagship ‘blended malt’, for sure but beware, one could down a bottle just like that. 92 points .
