Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 26 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Dry, vegetal. Seaweed. Sea air.
Palate
Firm, malty background. Becoming grainy, earthy, tar-like and chewy. Then dry, smoky and sandy.
Finish
Salty. Peppery. Mustardy too. A long, powerful assault from the spice-rack.
Comment
A good example of Brora as a distinctive maritime malt. Very appetising indeed, but quite different from Talisker, for example.

Dave Broom

Nose
Pungent, rich, oily. Peaty but also a lifted, almost floral top note. BIG. Chocolate and cream. Robustly elegant and increasingly complex as it opens.
Palate
A lovely mix of sweet and dry flavours. Very rich and mouth-coating. Almost briny: nuts, lemon, oil and gentle smoke underneath. Has weight and power.
Finish
Slight peppery kick.
Comment
A richly-flavoured malt with a punchy delivery. Another silent still. Bloody typical!
