Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 61도 캐스크 스트렝스답게 두꺼운 다리가 잔 벽을 천천히 따라 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 1981 브로라 특유의 왁시한 곡물 위로 가벼운 농가 피트와 잘 익은 사과가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 한 모금을 머금으면 강한 알코올이 입을 묵직하게 채우고 짭조름한 미네랄, 카라멜, 흰 후추가 풀린다. 삼킬 때 마른 풀과 옅은 연기가 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very fresh, grainy and fruity/flowery at the same time at first nosing. Big notes of very ripe apricots, plum jam, nectar, light honey, golden delicious apples… Quite some maritime notes do come through then, together with some notes of petrol, flint stone, wet stone, paraffin… It keeps developing, with some calvados, natural apple juice, fresh mirabelle plums. Extremely enjoyable, even if there isn’t much peat in it. Ah, and also some notes of gin…
restaurant Palate
oh, very unusual, extremely waxy (waxier than Clynelish) with lots of oily flavours too. Lots of salted butter caramel, vanilla fudge, getting also very minty and chocolaty (After Eights?) Some dried oranges, lavender crème, vanilla flavoured tea… No coastal notes this time, and very little smoke but a great creaminess and lots of oomph, with a long finish on fruit jams and white pepper. Extremely enjoyable if not totally ‘Brora’. 90 points . Brora 23 yo 1981/2005 (61%, Duncan Taylor, cask #1425, 542 bottles)
