Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
ah yes, this one is on full passion fruit and tangerine mode. It really smells like fruit juice, developing on something waxy (rubbed lemon skin, lamp oil) and also gin fizz. It’s also quite buttery but the wood is very discreet despite its old age. Just faint whiffs of ginger and vanilla… It becomes very grapefruity after a moment. The whole isn’t too complex but very, very enjoyable if you like acidulous fruits
restaurant Palate
phew, what a relief… It’s not woody or tired in any way, quite on the contrary. We do have all the fruits again (citrus fruits, tropical fruits, the whole shebang) and a fine tannic structure that keeps the whole quite vibrant. It then focuses on fresh pineapples with a little caramel and ginger… Yummie, as our Belgian friends would say. The finish isn’t too long, naturally, but compact and focused on fruits, with just a little pepper arising now. Anyway, an archetypical 1968 Bowmore in all simplicity. Not complex but almost perfect. 91 points . Bowmore 31 yo 1968/1999 (44%, Signatory Millenium Edition, cask #5820, 252 bottles)
