Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
unsmistakenly Brora at first sniffs, but barely, I’d say, although it does get much more phenolic after that. Starts rather butter and leafy, with a rather winey sherry and quite some tobacco and molasses, but Brora’s smoke and ‘minerality’ are soon to win the fight and impose their beauftiful sharpness and straightforwardness. Notes of gunflints, ashes, wet dog and hints of game, old rancio and balsamic vinegar. Gets wilder and wilder with time. Apple peelings
restaurant Palate
very good balance between a rather bold sweetness (orange jam, pear drops) and the smokiness, with also a lot of butter caramel. A lot, really. It goes on with buttered caramel for a very long time, with secondary aromas coming and going (pepper, cloves, orange liqueur, nougat, marshmallows...) certainly less smoky than on the nose after a while
timer Finish
medium long, with almost no smoke left at this stage but quite some honey, caramel and strawberry jam instead. Very good but maybe not one of the best
