Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 사라진 증류소 브로라 특유의 왁스 같은 질감과 옅은 흙내음 피트로 열린다. 셰리 부트 숙성이 더한 말린 과일과 가죽이 팰럿에서 또렷하게 발전하며 후추와 미네랄이 따라온다. 50도의 도수는 무게와 섬세함의 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 은은한 연기와 묵은 오크가 길게 이어진다. 22년을 채운 클래식 하이랜드 몰트의 구조감을 분명하게 드러낸다.
AITasting 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
