1968 vintage whiskies

Whisky Magazine - Editors Choice - Winner

Bunnahabhain 1968 Auld Aquaintance, Hogmanay Edition
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.80%
8 A brilliantly sunny winter's day; a walk by the sea in late afternoon; a dram at dusk. Still Bunnahabhain, but so different.

Bunnahabhain 1968, The Family Silver Vintage Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Because it is less aggressive than some of its neighbours, Bunnahabhain is often regarded as not being a proper Islay malt. This proves it can be.

Bowmore 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.40%
9 What a start! A truly magnificent dram and for me miles ahead of the competition.

Celtic Heartlands Bowmore 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.60%
8 Fresh, very drinkable. Doesn't remotely taste it's age.

Celtic Heartlands The Macallan 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.20%
7 Dry Oloroso is a very good idea.

Glen Garioch 1968, 29 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.30%
8 With its chestnut colour and highly distinctive flavours, this is a wonderfully wintery whisky.

Gordon & MacPhail Glen Grant 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 A ghost-like dram almost too elusive to grasp.

Gordon & MacPhail Glenugie 1968, 43 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00%
7 Oak is not as prevailing on the nose as on the palate. An exotic profile. Reminds me of Irish whiskey. Interesting richness. Avoid water.

Gordon & MacPhail Miltonduff 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Remarkably scenty. Very clean indeed. Delicate for my tastes but if you like an elegant malt.....

Lombard Caperdonich 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
6 Less fruity than I remember. An unusual afterdinner malt.

Murray McDavid Mission II Caperdonich 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 Good structure, but spoiled by bitterness and woodiness.

Signatory Bowmore 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 At first tasting, I was hard-pressed to find any Islay character at all. On a second tasting, the next morning with a fresh palate, I began to find some smokiness. Even then, it seemed to emerge on th...

Signatory The Glenrothes 1968 32 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.50%
8 Less soft than the younger expression. A drier, more robust, expression.

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

The Balvenie 1968
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.80%
8 Tasting from the cask resulted in slightly different descriptors whereas these notes were based on a sample sent to Whisky Magazine.

The Glenlivet 1968 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.75%
8 Has the complexity I expect from The Glenlivet.
