Martine Nouet
- Nose
- Malty and grassy. Ripe straw. Orange blossom honey. Cider apple and dried pear.
- Palate
- Sweet and smooth at start. But soon drying on teasing spices. Quite hot.
- Finish
- Dry, soothing on creamy custard with a nutty touch.
- Comment
- A warm character if not hot. It needs a dash of water to find its balance and round up. Certainly a winter warmer.

82- Nose
- Initially sweet then this lovely smokiness develops. There is a hot dry quality too, like warm sand or ground black pepper.
- Palate
- Barley sugar sweets and soft fruits and apple skins. That smoke is more bonfire now with a peat edge.
- Finish
- Long with the smoke still going.
- Comment
- This is better than other Brora's I have tried. Balanced and poised.
