Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 안에 잠긴 짙은 호박빛이 깊이 빛난다. 1983년에 문을 닫은 브로라의 1982 빈티지가 셰리와 버번 캐스크에서 25년의 시간을 거친 디아지오 스페셜 릴리스 2008의 일곱 번째 브로라 보틀은 사라진 클라이넬리시 옆 자매 증류소의 마지막 흔적을 담는다. 향은 짠 바람, 옅은 왁스, 마른 풀, 가벼운 피트로 펼쳐진다. 입안에서는 56.3도의 알코올 위로 광물성과 옅은 훈연, 잘 익은 사과가 흐른다. 여운은 사라진 브로라의 시간이 잔에 깊게 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber with salmony hues
air Nose
beautiful at first sniffs, extremely smoky and sort of ‘sooty’, with very big notes of gunpowder (like when you smell the barrel of a gun that was just shot). All that settles down a bit after one minute or two, leaving more room for some fine sherry notes. Chocolate, blackcurrant jam, orange marmalade, butter and ginger. These notes’ youthfulness may suggest more a finishing than full maturing but I’m most probably wrong. Anyway, this Brora is very “dual’, pure smoke on one side, pure sherry on the other side. Very, very big dram
restaurant Palate
yes, very big, with the sherry striking first this time (jars and jars of orange marmalade) and the smokiness trying to keep up. Notes of very strong black tea, liquorice, salmiak, toffee and prunes, with also quite some pepper and cinnamon. Rough and explosive
timer Finish
very long, even more concentrated, with even heavier notes of liquorice
