Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
of course this is marked by sherry, but even in 1981 Brora was still a full-bodied malt and balance has therefore been found here, at least it seems so for the moment. It strikes me as very notable to find, for example at this time of year, generous notes of fresh panettone and nougat, accompanied by generous amounts of furniture polish and pollen. This is a firm but gentle Brora for the moment. With water: smoked earth, humus, mushrooms…
restaurant Palate
excellent, livelier than the nose, more lemony, which combines well with the sherry’s walnuts. Then come the zests and walnut liqueur, as well as a saline touch. With water: salt, pepper and smoked meats, but in small quantities. Very good
timer Finish
fairly long, waxy, peppery, maritime and always on walnut
