Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one seems to be sharper and flintier than earlier 1982 CCs, which is surprising. More ‘Brora’ than expected, with a grassy, farmy and rather mineral kind of peatiness and a ‘marineness’ that hints a bit at Talisker. Wet rocks, seaweed, lemon, wet wool… Gets then more rounded, with some vanilla and, another surprise, hints of fresh pineapples. Pineapples in Brora! And hawthorns and rosehips
restaurant Palate
sweet, not big, starting right on the same unusual flowery notes (Turkish delights, oriental pastries). A little vanilla too, some cardboard, tea, flour (or rather tapioca)… The peatiness is very moderate but it is peaty. Goes on with more citrus fruits and a little peppermint
timer Finish
medium long, now more on lemon balm. Very little detectable sherry influence if any
