Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a fuller, richer, maltier version of the King’s Legend. There’s probably more caramel inside – which is what the much darker colour suggested anyway – but there’s also more sherry wood, more chicken soup, more tobacco, a bigger sootiness and probably more smoke. What could be is that the Old Clynelish that’s inside was direct-fired whilst the King’s Legend’s Clynelish was already steam-heated. I mean the two stills ;-). The changes occurred in 1961 at Clynelish. What’s sure is that the Glen Brora is a bigger, fatter spirit on the nose
restaurant Palate
it’s huge! Imagine, only 40% vol and already a good forty years in glass. It did not lose 1%, but it’s true the level was high. Once again, we have more or less the style of the King’s Liqueur but with more body, greasiness, fatness, caramel, fudge, cigars, spices, pepper, soot, ashes, liquorice, salt… I don’t think many modern malts could hand a candle to this old baby. And I love the menthol as well…
timer Finish
it’s where the difference with the KL is huge. This one’s long, peppery, salty, there’s some fudge, bitter oranges, gingerbread, juniper, chlorophyll… Wow!
