Brora 30 Year Old
This is Brora at its best, a highly-distinctive maritime whisky with bags of appetising character.
Appearance
Warm yellow in colour.
Body
Oily in body.
Nose
Distinctly green, vegetal, sharp. Seaweedy. Powerfully herbal. Mild nose-feel, with a sweet rum-toffee note, and wax behind. The rum-toffee soon changes to dried fruit (apricots, also a citric note), while the oily aroma becomes more tar-like. Water brings up the characteristic waxiness of Brora - though it's milder than some, and qualified by the deep fruity note, now like dried orange peel.
Palate
Fruity olive oil. Samphire. Sweetness and saltiness. Thick mouth-feel, considerable sweetness and acidity and a scented, church-candle, smoke.
Finish
Peppery olive oil. Dry. A distinctly charred, slightly bitter aftertaste.
