No grain, no gain: continuing from yesterday…
No grain, no gain: an avalanche of North British and other grain whiskies, Part 1
A little avalanche of Bowmore, including our 700th here on WF
Mineral notes, wet chalk, grapefruit and lemon zest dominate this sharp, austere Bowmore, which shows plenty of character but could use more maturity.
The Chianti cask dominates with strawberries, spice and wine tannin, creating a bittersweet dram that brings too much wine and oak spice to the party.
A dark, savoury sherry style with prunes, tobacco, cocoa and earthy wood; the cask dominates the palate, making it less bright and fruity but appealing to fans…
Creamy vanilla, pears and stewed banana are overtaken by active woody notes, making this a somewhat one-dimensional, cask-driven whisky.
A very mature and balanced Imperial, with a rich fruity core of papaya, banana and guava that is very easy to love.
