Bowmore 1968 DT Rare Auld

restaurant Palate

quite some body in spite of the low alcohol! Starts quite sweet, fruity and gingery. Nice notes of wax, cardboard, orange juice and caramel crème. Not exactly nervous but still very enjoyable. Goes on with some notes of tangerines (as expected), oriental pastries, orange cake and marmalade… The finish is rather long – again, longer than expected, getting a little spicy. A classical old Bowmore, maybe a tad simple but not tired at all. 89 points . Bowmore 37 yo 1968/2005 (42.8%, Duncan Taylor, cask #1429)
