Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber with salmony hues
air Nose
beautiful at first sniffs, extremely smoky and sort of ‘sooty’, with very big notes of gunpowder (like when you smell the barrel of a gun that was just shot). All that settles down a bit after one minute or two, leaving more room for some fine sherry notes. Chocolate, blackcurrant jam, orange marmalade, butter and ginger. These notes’ youthfulness may suggest more a finishing than full maturing but I’m most probably wrong. Anyway, this Brora is very “dual’, pure smoke on one side, pure sherry on the other side. Very, very big dram
restaurant Palate
yes, very big, with the sherry striking first this time (jars and jars of orange marmalade) and the smokiness trying to keep up. Notes of very strong black tea, liquorice, salmiak, toffee and prunes, with also quite some pepper and cinnamon. Rough and explosive
timer Finish
very long, even more concentrated, with even heavier notes of liquorice
