Womb Ore 9 yo 1998/2008 (46%, The Nectar, Daily Dram, 420 bottles, Bowmore) Colour: straw. Nose: the first feeling after all the 1989’s is that this is much more ‘maritime’ and ‘medicinal’, and certainly much, much cleaner. There’s iodine, seashells, then grapefruits... The ‘links’ with the older versions are the notes of wet stones and wet wool. We have also ashes, apple peeling, fresh walnuts... There’s some smoke but not a very big one. Overall impression: very straight and very pure. Mouth: it’s more on the palate that the differences with the older Bowmores are obvious. This is much cleaner, much straighter. Nice, sweet attack (kumquats that remind me of the ‘Jack’), the whole getting then rather drier. Green apples, oatcakes, smoked fish, marzipan, mastic and a slight saltiness.
Finish: long and a tad spicier now (cloves and black pepper). Very slight cardboardiness. Comments: much better than all the 1989’s for sure, and pretty mature at just 9yo. Oh, and much more ‘Islay’. SGP:255 – 85 points.
