We do not have a retailer listed for this exact bottling, however you may find the following suggestions useful.
Dave Broom
93- Nose
- Huge, complex and mature. Coal smoke mixed with oil/candle wax and wet leaves in a churchyard by the sea. A feral edge is tempered by sweet, almost luscious fruits. The wood is playing a supporting role.
- Palate
- Big, slow and oily. Old orange, pipe tobacco and quince. The citric lift balances the briny notes. Muscular.
- Finish
- Long, rich and smokily fat, seal blubber on an oil stove?
- Comment
- This will be recognised as one of the finest Brora bottlings. Snap it up.
Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Peaty with a slight rubbery note. A mix of smoke and turf. On time a floral note. Violet. Liquorice.
- Palate
- Sweet at first then drying on spices. Sweet liquorice. Very refreshing. Developing into a spicy fizz. Ginger ale. The smoke perceived on the nose does not show on the palate.
- Finish
- Medium. Soothing on more liquorice. Faint smoke.
- Comment
- Well balanced, clean. A pleasant malty core and an appetising freshness.
