BOW (89.50)

We know that this series was met with a bit of circumspection, but that’s all we know. Colour: red amber. Nose: quite close to the Warehouse Tasting, but drier, more earthy, and definitely heavier on the green nuts, cigar box, crushed pepper, and glutamate. Let’s see if a bit of water can coax out some fruits… Ah, there's the fruitcake starting to peek through. With water: touches of old camphor syrup, or aged yellow Chartreuse, and even some old Heering Cherry. How about that! Mouth (neat): a kind of mix of Coca-Cola, liquorice, vegetal tar (pine), and Corinth raisins. It finishes rather sweet and almost light. With water: a hint of anise and mint this time, mint sauce (English, of course), and still those raisins. Touches of caramelised onions. Finish: medium length, sweetness, chocolate, walnut wine, liquorice, and salted mint. Earthier aftertaste again. Comments: not at all a classic malt, it goes off in all directions but also brings a charming and very unusual character. Reminds me a bit of the Springbank and Longrow releases from the early 2000s.
