amber
air Nose
it’s the sherry that dominates the whisky here, obviously, and not just the sherry, for there’s quite some sulphur at first sniffs (hard-boiled eggs). Thank God that vanishes quite quickly, leaving room for quite some coffee (loads, actually), bitter chocolate and liquorice-flavoured toffee. Nice pepper in the background but there little peat here. Quite some gunpowder and cordite, burnt matchsticks… Not extremely typical but pleasant, I must say
restaurant Palate
good attack, unusually fruity (lots of strawberries), candied and orangey (Grand-Marnier) but quite far from ‘Brora’ as we know it, although we do have a little pepper, even hints of mustard, especially at the long finish where ‘Brora’ is finally back in its full glory. Well, maybe that was a little late… 83 points . Brora 20 yo 1981/2001 (50%, Douglas Laing OMC, 570 bottles)
