Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 브로라 1981 빈티지가 18년 셰리 캐스크에서 빚어낸 잘 익은 무화과와 광택 나는 가죽 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 사라진 클라이네스 인근 디스틸러리답게 옅은 왁스 노트가 뒤이어 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿에서는 50도가 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 셰리 단맛, 짭짤한 미네랄, 마른 향신료가 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 피니시는 광택 나는 오크와 가벼운 훈제 노트가 길게 이어지며 빈티지 브로라의 결이 또렷이 깃든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one is more difficult, it's even both a little watery (vase water) and kind of chemical (plastic, the interior of a brand new budget car). Having said that, we have also very interesting notes of tequila and white rum, with this unusual grassy side. Also walnut skin, then more butterscotch. This is less 'Brora' and much less smoky than the Signatory for sure, it's not the same distillate. Also something metallic (old tin box). After fifteen minutes, it became cleaner and straighter, with a fino-ish character. With water: iron and rust all over the place. A bag of old nails. A shame because behind all this metal there are nice whiffs of fern and moss. Well, maybe… Also a little sour cream
restaurant Palate
it's a little weird again, bizarrely sweet and sour, with a strange combination of lemon juice and wasabi. Not kidding. The metallic side got even bigger (silver spoon, even aluminum), there's even a little plastic, then lemon jelly beans or something like that. Not an easy one but it's kind of interesting. Some pepper. With water: forget about that, it became too metallic
timer Finish
quite long, a little sour. Apple juice and beer
