Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
엷은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 그윽하게 빛난다. 전설로 남은 브로라의 1981년 원액이 25년을 보낸 이 희귀한 보틀링은 왁스 같은 질감과 은은한 피트로 이름 높다. 향에는 밀랍과 마른 풀, 옅은 흙내음과 잦아든 연기가 복합적으로 얽혀 있다. 입에서는 기름진 질감 위로 후추와 시트러스, 미네랄의 기운이 또렷하게 흐르고 56.5도가 곧게 뻗는다. 여운에는 왁스와 옅은 훈연이 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber with salmony hues
air Nose
beautiful at first sniffs, extremely smoky and sort of ‘sooty’, with very big notes of gunpowder (like when you smell the barrel of a gun that was just shot). All that settles down a bit after one minute or two, leaving more room for some fine sherry notes. Chocolate, blackcurrant jam, orange marmalade, butter and ginger. These notes’ youthfulness may suggest more a finishing than full maturing but I’m most probably wrong. Anyway, this Brora is very “dual’, pure smoke on one side, pure sherry on the other side. Very, very big dram
restaurant Palate
yes, very big, with the sherry striking first this time (jars and jars of orange marmalade) and the smokiness trying to keep up. Notes of very strong black tea, liquorice, salmiak, toffee and prunes, with also quite some pepper and cinnamon. Rough and explosive
timer Finish
very long, even more concentrated, with even heavier notes of liquorice
