Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
completely different from the Dun Bheagan, bigger but certainly not less austere. Flinty, mustardy, leathery, waxy and very mineral, with these notes of damp clay and even a little sludge. Gets then superbly almondy, with huge notes of orgeat syrup (you don’t know what it is? Google it!) With water: as often, we go greener, more vegetal, farmier, more organic, but also more phenolic and even a tad tarry. Engine oil?
restaurant Palate
holy fudge! Probably one of the best 1981 Broras I ever tried. Magnificently sharp (like a blade, as they say), zesty, half-oily, half-lemony… If there’s one malt whisky that may remind me of my beloved Alsatian Rieslings, it’s this one. And pepper, and mustard, and chilli, and lime, and… With water: perfection. Medicinal. Peaty… Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade
timer Finish
long, astoundingly oily, waxy, peppery and peaty
