Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
the sherry isn’t as dominating as in other bottlings but it does kind of interfere with the spirit in an uncoordinated manner. That creates some slightly soapy notes as well as some rather heady notes of pencil lead, shavings and damp old wood. The spirit has troubles making it through the wood – and imagine its Brora! Yet, there are nice notes of humus, moss, fern (fern grows bigger over time)
restaurant Palate
salty attack, then something lavenderish that give it a 1982-Bowmoreness if you see what I mean. Violet sweets, orange drops, white pepper, cologne (a little)… It’s nicer than it may sound but well well well… Cranberry juice – not sure notes of cranberry juice go well with Brora
timer Finish
medium long, much more liquoricy. Liquorice allsorts and bags of them
