Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 호박빛이 잔 속에 은은하게 빛난다. 향을 맡으면 전설적인 증류소다운 옅은 피트 연기와 밀랍의 향이 먼저 솟고 농가의 흙내 같은 기운이 받친다. 입에 들이면 스물두 해가 다듬은 왁스 같은 질감과 잘 익은 과일이 혀를 천천히 감싸며 46도의 알코올이 둥글게 가라앉는다. 시그나토리가 1981년 원액으로 거둔 이 브로라는 닫힌 증류소만이 지닌 독특한 결을 그대로 전한다. 여운은 옅은 연기와 구운 보리로 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
sure the 1981s were much less peaty than, say the 1972s but this is still a very peaty dram, somewhat akin to a Talisker even if this Brora is more austere and, above all, extremely waxy and mineral. Quite some paraffin too - not obligatorily always a great thing when there's a lot of it - and then more lemon as well as touches of wet dogs (I'm sorry, dogs). Some graphite oil as well, then more grass, lemon grass, angelica… Globally very phenolic and rather austere so far
restaurant Palate
it's amazing how close we are to Talisker! Pepper, lemon, smoke and oysters, then more barley sugar and maybe a touch of sherry (remember it's from a refill butt). This sherry goes very well with the peppery make but it all remains pretty austere. Pleasantly austere…
timer Finish
long, herbal, salty, smoky and lemony, a perfect profile. Peppery aftertaste, we're still in Talisker territories
