향미 프로필
테이스팅 노트
노즈에서는 40년의 원숙함이 준 꿀과 시럽 같은 질감 위로 라임과 자몽, 망고의 열대 과실 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 바우모어 1955는 전설적 빈티지답게 42도에서 초록 올리브와 해초의 해안 캐릭터까지 명확하게 드러낸다. 팰럿에서는 날카로운 시트러스와 이국적 과실, 순수한 소금기가 균형을 이룬다. 피니시는 시럽 같은 질감에 은은한 요오드와 꽃향이 길게 이어진다.

pale gold (almost identical to the 57 interestingly enough)
air 아로마 (코)
more honeyed than I recall. Overall more syrupy and ‘fat’ than the 57. The fruits come through as lime, grapefruit, mango and guava. Also getting rather more coastal with some green olive and seaweed. I have to say it’s majestic, although perhaps not as intense and overwhelmingly brilliant as I remember… given quite a bit of time to breathe it starts to develop and almost leathery and animalistic side while also a more direct tropical fruit quality. It is an undeniably compelling nose, I think it just really needs time to open and evolve
restaurant 맛 (팔레트)
Superb and impressive delivery. I wish someone would test one of these jugs with an e-hydrometer to discover the strength. It certainly feels higher than 40 or 43%. Superbly sharp citrus and exotic fruits mixed with pure brine, rock pool water and anchovy paste. A taut, mineral-strewn and powerfully direct presence in the mouth. Impeccably structured and complex. In time it develops more pure peatiness and a very thick and ‘present’ herbal quality. Really starts to become almost like an ancient herbal or honey based liqueur. 1950s Drambuie mixed with 1920s yellow Chartreuse! The complexity is sublime, one of those whiskies you could really just keep picking out tiny and beautiful wee flavours all night long. So I won’t!
timer 피니시
long, syrupy in texture, fragrantly peaty, yellow flowers, very subtle iodine notes and still coastal and even slightly waxy too
