Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 폐쇄된 브로라 1981 빈티지 특유의 왁스와 짠 미네랄 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 잔을 흔들면 깊은 호박빛이 천천히 도는 가운데 셰리 캐스크가 새긴 건과일 노트가 머문다. 한 모금을 머금으면 58.1도의 알코올이 입을 강하게 데우며 28년이 빚어낸 농축된 가죽과 옅은 피트의 단맛이 묵직하게 흐른다. 천천히 삼키면 브로라 특유의 짠 잔향이 입에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
we’re actually exceedingly close to the Chieftain’s, with that firm dry sherry profile, walnuts, mustard, dried leaves, garden bonfire smoke, paraffin, soot… Let’s see if a little water stirs things up. With water: hints of braised cabbage, perhaps a touch of sulphur… but indeed, it leans more and more towards spent matches
restaurant Palate
entirely and squarely in the Chieftain’s camp, only cranked up a notch, which manifests in a bolder, more pronounced plug tobacco character. Indeed. With water: bitter chocolate and gunpowder, heading towards salted truffle. In truth, not my favourite
timer Finish
long, very dry, with an assertive note of gunpowder that shifts into tar and leek. Over-infused lapsang souchong and a leathery new-shoe note in the aftertaste
