this one is more classically ‘1981’, with less peat and more wax. Let’s say it’s closer to Clynelish than the DL. Notes of butter pears, vanilla, a little cocoa, oak… Slight peatiness but let’s try it with a little water now: it gets much more farmy indeed but also a little weirdly fruity (the slightly scary notes of rotting oranges) and a little chemical (‘artificial’ orange juice). Close to cask #1420, which isn’t really good news
restaurant Palate
much closer to the DL now, very lemony, sharp… But there’s less peat. The alcohol dominates the whole, so let’s add water again: okay, it does get better but still not hyper-clean and peaty as it could be. The fruitiness is a little sweetish but the whole is good whisky and especially the finish does it, with that farminess and the orangey notes. 85 points . Brora 25 yo 1981/2007 (60.1%, Signatory, sherry butt, cask #1519, 270 bottles) A brand new bottling by the Signatory racing team
