Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스코틀랜드 북동 해안 브로라의 거센 바닷바람과 청량한 공기가 이 1971년 보틀링의 캐릭터를 빚어냈다. 옅은 황금빛이 잔에 잠겨 있다. 향에서 밀랍과 마른 풀, 옅은 짠 공기가 또렷하게 드러난다. 입에서는 꿀과 꿀벌랍, 흰 후추가 부드럽게 미끄러진다. 43도의 절제된 도수는 옛 클라이넬리시의 단단한 캐릭터를 단정하게 받쳐주며 여운에는 해풍의 흔적이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
the smoke here is rather more dominant than in other old Clynelish, with heaps of ashes, paraffin, linseed oil, those delicately balsamic notes we’re so fond of, plus chalk, limestone, almond oil, citrus, a chalky, cementy edge, hints of spent fireworks, seaweed... Without a doubt, this is the most ‘Islay’ of the old Clynelishes, and it’s hardly surprising that the owners chose this distillery to pursue an ‘Islay-style’ whisky towards the end of the 1960s. That’s the spirit of Brora
restaurant Palate
a tad austere at first, very Old Clynelish, all on lemons, menthol, camphor and, once again, a surprisingly peaty character. At least, compared with other versions. Lovely yeasty, saline touches, and never does it bow its head
timer Finish
supremely long, salty, packed with ashes, seaweed and soot. That sootiness is a bit of a hallmark here as well
