2010, Brora 30 yr

[semifan1]

Newbie here, to the forms I was wondering if anybody has seen one in the states yet or knows of a website in the states.Im in CA so shipping should be no problem to get it here.Also I have seen the Brora 25 for 329.00 USD and was wondering what people thought of it any good and worth the price.Thanks

2010 Brora did not come to the US

[Ganga]

It is my understanding that neither the 2010 Brora nor the 2010 PE made it to the States. bcrossan and I have received identical information.

[semifan1]

Thanks for the Info.

Not too bad, but if you can, I would advise you to buy a Brora 30 YO from any Annual Relase

[corbuso]

Patrick are you suggesting that any other year is as good as the 2010 so go for the cheapest/most available?
Or do you mean something else?

I meant that the 25 YO is probably not the most representative Brora bottled by its owner. Furthermore, I just tasted the Brora 30 YO bottled 2010 (tasting note to be published within the next 2 weeks on my website) and its profile is rather different from the previous annual releases: cleaner, lighter and sweeter. A very good Brora, closer to the style of the 1970s Broras bottled in the Rare Malts range.

[bcrossan]

I agree. I found the 2007 much more sherried than the 2010

[MacDeffe]

I find the Brora's distilled early - mid 70's my preference. A bit more peaty. A H2H of 2002, 2007 and 2009 I thought the 2002 was far superior

(My 2002 is emptied unfortunately...)

In my opinion the best Brora 30 OBs were the vintages released between 2003 and 2006, 2007 is still a good one.
The following releases are more clynelish-like in style.

Better is kind of in the eyes of the beholder. I too prefer the 2002 and 2007 but the 2010 is not bad whisky. It's a little "softer" in its presentation.

Agreed.
