Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich gold with amber highlights; medium-full body. The heavily peated 1977 distillation has mellowed into a complex amber gold over 43 years
Nose
Vanilla, green apples and hints of beeswax. The peat smoke has softened into something ethereal after four decades. Elegant and layered
Palate
Sweet with long peaty smoke finish. The heavily peated malt from the 1977 era is now beautifully integrated — smoke as a whisper rather than a shout. Fruit and wax balanced by gentle peat
Finish
Long, sweet finish with peaty smoke. The famous Brora peat character is present but transformed by 43 years into something refined and haunting
