Colour; straw. Nose: this one starts on the usual, most enjoyable blast of tropical fruits (mainly pineapples and pink grapefruits, followed by a little passion fruit.) It gets then a little milky and feinty (mashed potatoes), and finally a little peaty (clean farmy aromas, hay). No sign of woodiness, which is quite incredible – and maybe little fern and wet moss. Pretty simple but flawless and typically ‘1968 Bowmore’. Mouth: 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.
