Tasting Notes
Another fine Brora - deep, sweet and rich - yet with great delivery of smoke, as from camp fires in the late summer. Indisputably Brora, yet in an attractive, softer guise.
Appearance - Full gold. Good beading
Nose - Big and resolutely oily. Evoking a wind surfers camp fire in the dunes - wet saltiness and dry, grassy wood smoke. The herbal element here is soon joined by lychee, black pepper and meaty notes. Clean, but rich, robust and deep as well. With water there's a touch of American oak butterscotch softness, which in true Brora fashion then gives way to waxier notes, as with a waxed country jacket. Gentle and soft, yet with a brooding edge
Body - Medium to heavy. Oily, smooth.
Palate - Tongue coating and surprisingly citric. Firm oak. Shows its refined maturity in waves of flavour that surge across the tongue. It needs water, but just the merest drop, which allows the texture to show itself. Full fleshy fruits. Rich and smooth, with hints of smoke
Finish - Long, pleasingly nutty and smoky
