Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 호박빛이 잔에 은은하게 어린다. 1981년 증류해 22년을 보낸 브로라는 이미 전설이 된 하이랜드 증류소로, 리필 셰리 버트가 절제된 피트를 감싼다. 향에서는 잦아든 훈연과 밀랍, 마른 풀의 기운이 차분하게 피어오른다. 46도의 한 모금은 보리 단맛과 꿀, 옅은 연기가 매끄럽게 입을 적신다. 시그나토리가 언칠필터드로 병입한 이 노장은 흙내음과 향신료의 잔향을 길게 남긴다.
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
