Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light and slightly numb. Wet stones, thrift flowers, herbs, smoke.

Palate: Dry and unyielding. Those herbs again, some almond and a light maritime character.

Finish: Short.

Comment: Not sufficient drive being given by the cask.

Score: 6.5

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: A walk across the grassy dunes to a clean beach in a light, fresh breeze.

Palate: Teasing balance of sweet, creamy maltiness and salty, savoury, vegetal flavours. After the walk, warming soup.

Finish: Peppery dry. Bring on the cullen skink.

Comment: What a distinctive malt Brora was, and there are some excellent bottlings available.

Score: 8.8
