Tasting 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
