The nose is clearly floral, with a quite balanced mix of acid notes ant a nearly malty sweetness. A kind of complexity... without any exageration.
The mouth is less expressive than the nose was, giving an impression of "weakness", despite the percentage of alcohol which should give a more expressive result. Some chocalate notes, mixed with some touches, between acidity and biterness. The palate is rather flat, which is surprising for a Brora of that age. However, some pepper hints.
The finish is nice, long and somewhere between bitter chocolate and sweet malt. A nice whishy, however rather surprising for a Brora...
2006A first quite farmy nose, stable, wet hay, undergrowth followed by nice peaty notes. A rich and quite complex nose.
The mouth is clearly peated too and is less interesting than the nose was. But soon some slightly woody notes appear.
The finish is warm and from medium length, marked by the peaty notes the nose detected earlier.
