Comment: Exuberant interplay of sweet and dry flavours, pivoted on a firm malt background.
Score: 8.8
Taster
Nose: Complex. Vanilla, poached pear, wax, peat, seaweed, Danish oil and a whiff of the cowshed.
Palate: Rich and complex, this unfolds slowly and has richness, balance, texture, sweet waxy fruits and a lift of smoke. Some package.
Finish: Cigar ash.
Comment: OK, so who is going to stump up the cash to get Brora up and running again?
Score: 9
