Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Dry, vegetal. Seaweed. Sea air.
- Palate
- Firm, malty background. Becoming grainy, earthy, tar-like and chewy. Then dry, smoky and sandy.
- Finish
- Salty. Peppery. Mustardy too. A long, powerful assault from the spice-rack.
- Comment
- A good example of Brora as a distinctive maritime malt. Very appetising indeed, but quite different from Talisker, for example.
Dave Broom
90- Nose
- Pungent, rich, oily. Peaty but also a lifted, almost floral top note. BIG. Chocolate and cream. Robustly elegant and increasingly complex as it opens.
- Palate
- A lovely mix of sweet and dry flavours. Very rich and mouth-coating. Almost briny: nuts, lemon, oil and gentle smoke underneath. Has weight and power.
- Finish
- Slight peppery kick.
- Comment
- A richly-flavoured malt with a punchy delivery. Another silent still. Bloody typical!
