Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 깊이 빛난다. 전설로 남은 브로라가 1981년 원액을 26년 보낸 이 레어 올드는 옅은 왁스와 마른 풀, 은은한 농가의 흙내음 위로 가벼운 연기를 얹어 피워 올린다. 54.5도의 한 모금은 기름진 질감으로 흐르며 꿀과 시트러스, 옅은 미네랄과 그을음이 섬세하게 어우러진다. 사라진 증류소다운 단단하고 복합적인 결이 입안에 깃들고, 여운은 마른 왁스와 옅은 연기로 길게 잠겨든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
well, at first nosing, it seems that good old Brora doesn’t have much say here, but the general feeling is still very nice. Starts on rather big notes of sultanas and apricot pie... Wait, no, Brora, slowly starts to shove its way, with first something delicately smoky, then bigger notes of wax polish, and finally notes of smoked ham and burning beeswax mingling with the sultanas. All that is more delicate and balanced than it sounds, that is, with also whiffs of sea air
restaurant Palate
again, the wine does most of the talking at first sip, but the distillery is soon to strike back with more pepper this time, a little peat (not much), wax, cough syrup (and pine resin sweets) and something a little metallic/mineral (hard to describe). Stays very sweet globally
timer Finish
rather long, sweet and peppery, with notes of very ripe stawberries and a a little orange marmalade. And a little sweet curry
