Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
rather less expressive than the Kingsbury but well in the same style at first nosing. Maybe just a slight farminess that we didn’t have in the Kingsbury. A little more lemon as well… But it’s a little shy, let’s try to wake it up with a few drops of water. With water: oh well, it’s still a bit shy. It’s only its ‘coastality’ that got bigger, with distant whiffs of kelp and sea water. Definitely not the most explosive old Bowmore ever
restaurant Palate
what can I say? It’s the same whisky as the Kingsbury, only to the power of two. More of everything, which doesn’t mean that it’s ‘better’ as such, just much bigger. And once again, what a huge contrast with the slightly ‘discreet’ nose. Discreet considering it’s an old Bowmore of course. No water needed on the palate but let’s try. With water: perfect and, once again, ‘impressionistic’. Nothing stands out except for the salt, everything is perfectly mingled
timer Finish
maybe not the longest – slight disappointment here. Drops a bit quickly, that will cost it two or three points. Very salty aftertaste, like if you had drunk a glass of seawater
