Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
oh, this is archetypical of this period, with these notes of geranium and lavender perfume above the peat. It’s not as bad as it sounds, actually, it’s just that I don’t like this profile at all. Too bad, the rest is pretty nice, with a very pleasant mix of toffee and peat, ashes... Also a little grenadine, beer, pepper... The other good news is that these ‘perfumy’ notes get more discreet with time, but they’re still very noticeable when you compare this one with its younger bros. Smells like plain perfume at times
restaurant Palate
typical. These perfumy notes on the nose now translate into something more, say ‘chemical’, like some supermarket lemon juices. Also something like blackberry Jell-O... Liquorice allsorts... Soap? Oh well
timer Finish
medium long, a bit straighter now but... Well, this is a slice of History. If you ever wondered how these ‘perfumy’ Bowmores distilled in the late 70’s and 80’s tasted like, this one is a must, kind of a historical bottling (no, no 'e'). This kind of profile disappeared at Bowmore in the early 1990's as far as I can tell, what’s funny (sort of) is that it’s Longrow that took up the torch for a short period of time right at the same moment it seems to me. Did they transfer some equipment or something? But this is a Bowmore and I’m talking about Longrow, tsss tsss
