Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 동북부 브로라 마을 북해 해안의 짭조름한 바닷바람 곁에서 자란 브로라는 1983년 가동을 멈춘 사라진 전설이다. 잔에 깊은 호박빛이 비치고 1977 빈티지가 25년의 시간을 거친 결로 다듬어 두었다. 노즈에서 가벼운 토탄과 밀랍, 짭조름한 바위가 다가오며 56.5도의 술기운이 또렷이 따른다. 입에서는 꿀과 가죽, 옅은 약품의 풍미가 단단한 풀바디를 펼친다. 여운에 옅은 훈연과 짠 바람이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting 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
