Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1981년 증류된 브로라 25년의 셰리 부트 캐릭터가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 마른 자두, 옅은 왁스, 짠 미네랄의 향이 정연하게 흐른다. 팰럿은 60.1%의 도수가 묵직하게 입을 채우며 가죽, 흑설탕, 약한 훈연의 노트로 발전한다. 브로라 특유의 왁시한 골격이 25년이라는 시간과 셰리의 영향으로 한층 단단한 구조감을 얻었다. 피니시는 흑설탕과 짠 미네랄의 잔향이 길게 이어지며 균형이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes

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
