Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 옅은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 가늘게 흘러내린다. 코를 가져가면 클라이넬리시 특유의 밀랍과 양초 같은 기름진 향이 먼저 오르고, 뒤이어 레몬과 마른 풀 내음이 따라온다. 1971년에 병입된 이 오래된 보틀링을 한 모금 머금으면 43도답게 부드러운 꿀과 짭짤한 미네랄이 혀를 감싼다. 삼키면 특유의 왁스 같은 질감이 입천장에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
quite a different beast altogether, almost certainly more sherry-driven, with a more expansive nose showing farmyardy and even meaty tones (smoked bacon), already hinting at the polishes (metal, leather, wood) that would later become hallmarks of early Brora. Gorgeous notes of dried mushrooms (morels, porcini), coffee, pu-ehr tea and tobacco. Hugely impressive
restaurant Palate
but it’s almost aggressive, despite over fifty years in glass! Smoked teas, cured meats, seaweed, tobacco, mandarins, a dash of seawater, then that proverbial wax…
timer Finish
long, more austere, with the arrival of walnut wine, perhaps from the sherry influence. Quite peppery as well
