Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Clear amber with fine beading; full body. The 1978 distillation in American oak hogsheads creates a classic amber appearance
Nose
Sweet smoky peat wafts, treacle toffee, ripe figs, raisins. With water, sacking and sweet notes emerge. Complex and inviting
Palate
Waxy texture with sweet and savoury smoke, dates, white pepper and a minty note. With water the complexity opens further. The famous Brora waxy-peaty character in full expression
Finish
Long, rich and sweetly warming. Persistent smoke, wax, dates and treacle. One of the great commemorative Brora releases
