Brora Rare Malt-1977-24 year old
Rare Malt Selection. Bottled October 2001. Distilled and bottled by Brora Distillery, Brora, Sutherland
Bottle number 1495. In original carton. Good labelling with some scuffing. Level: very top shoulder.
"...But Brora is like Ardbeg, it's sometimes hard to describe and you rather feel like only writing 'Brora!' or 'Ardbeg!' With water: at a garden centre. Cut plants, manure and other fertilizers, Roundup... No, not Roundup! Tends to gain polish and even roundness after two minutes, with even notes of Parisian croissants. No, no tear gas. Mouth (neat): it's the farminess that tends to dominate, with some hay and grass, bitter tobacco, a touch of burnt caramel, and rather a lot of cardamom. I think it'll need a few drops of water... With water: some sweetness (cranberry juice, perhaps) but all the rest is rather on hay, bitter grasses, and indeed a grassier smokiness." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
70cl. Single Malt., 56.1% volume.
