Brora™ 30 Year Old ABV 53.2%

30 Years Old Natural Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the Coastal Highlands.

Tasting Guide

Appearance: Full gold. Good beading.

Nose: Big and resolutely oily. Evoking a wind-surfers’ camp fire in the dunes – wet saltiness and dry, grassy wood-smoke. The herbal element here is soon joined by lychee, black pepper and meaty notes. Clean, but rich, robust and deep as well. With water there’s a touch of American oak butterscotch softness, which in true Brora fashion then gives way to waxier
notes, as with a waxed country jacket. Gentle and soft, yet with a brooding edge.

Body: Medium to heavy. Oily, smooth.

Palate: Tongue-coating and surprisingly citric. Firm oak. Shows its refined maturity in waves of flavour that surge across the tongue. It needs water, but just the merest drop, which allows the texture to show itself. Full fleshy fruits. Rich and smooth, with hints of smoke.

Finish: Long, pleasingly nutty and smoky.
