Gal Granov (87)

Nose: This is clearly a sweet sort of whisky, and not very surprising if you look at the cask profile : First of all there’s a nice chocolate feeling to it, with some Bon-bons infused with cherry liquor, some golden syrup, sherry, and a lovely smokiness under the fruit, white pepper and maybe a touch of clove, and berry jam.

Palate: Milk chocolate up front, red and black berry in liquor, some berry jam too, there’s a lovely touch of salt as well, which balances nicely those sweet-ish flavours, we’re on Islay after all, aren’t we? A touch of wood, and pepper, make up for a lovely palate.

Finish: Blackcurrant Jam , chocolate , cocoa and a certain vinous touch to it (hey, it’s a wine cask matured whisky).

Bottom line:

I must say I am pleasantly surprised by this lovely Bowmore. Wine and Sherry do work well together apparently, and Bowmore chose wisely. A lovely mouthfeel, and a very good desert whisky, would go wonderfully well with some quality chocolate truffles.
