Notes & Reviews

magic_slim gave this whisky 94 points

Color

Old gold

Nose

Warming, very pleasantly aromatic with notes of peat and suede at first nosing. Furthermore I smell dried apples, wet wool and wasabi. Some sherry casks must have been used. Harmonic and perfectly balanced.

Taste

Rich and bold with farmy peaty aromas, hot and spicy, warming from deep inside.
Aromas of caramel pudding, oatmeal and old style mustard with mustard seeds. Also camphor and hints of lemon zest. Close to perfection.

Finish

Very long - remains always pleasant. I love it.

Comments

Merry Christmas to me - what a great whisky !!!

Old gold

Nose

The nose immediately takes you back to humid cow stables, during the cleaning out of the manure. Sounds terrible, smell wonderful. Very farmy, as we like to call it. Some creamy goat cheese, faux leather couch, wet hay, tiger balm, soft smoke and peat. Some chewing tobacco and caramel. This is impressively complex and simply marvellous.

Taste

On the palate, you are literally blown away. The coastal character immediately puts its foot down. Brine, loads of it, followed by lime zest, liquorice, mustard seeds, peat, smoke, ginger, pepper. Ka-boom! Some white fruit tries to break through, but does not stand a chance. Only a little bit of caramel succeeds in adding some sweetness.

Finish

The finish is very drying, smoky and spicy. In short: wow!

Comments

This is an absolutely stunning Brora as Brora should be. Bombastic! Party in the bottle. A must try. What a pity that it is burdened with such a heavy price tag.

The 6th bottling of Brora 30yrs from Diageo is another classic 1970s-style Brora, and standards are just as high as ever, with overt citrus and medicine cabinet notes. This is yet another fabulous release from this much-lamented extinct distillery, scoring 93 points from Whiskyfun`s Serge Valentin. (TWE)

Color

Yellow gold

Nose

Le degré d'alcool est là mais bien intégré. Il a du punch à revendre, avec une splendide alchimie entre la fumée et les fruits (banane, agrumes).

Taste

L'attaque est tout en douceur, fruitée (poire) et sucrée. La fumée déboule progressivement pour finir sur superbe un viandé VS citron. Texture agréable.

Finish

Le viandé devient lardé, on a donc pas mal de sel et toujours la fumée. Notes fermières. Légère amertume de tourbe.

Comments

Brora. What else ?

Qui goute un Brora a vie s'en souviendra...
