Brora 30yo 5th Release 2006.
Dieses ist eine der Premium-Abfüllungen der damals stillgelegten Brennerei Brora. Geschmacklich wieder herausragend ist die 30 Jahre alte Flasche eine der wenigen Original-Abfüllungen aus dieser Brennerei vor der Neueröffnung. Bei dieser Flasche handelt es sich um den Jahrgang 2006 welcher 30jährig mit insgesamt nur 2130 Flaschen abgefüllt wurde.
A fabulous release from Diageo from a distillery that, on this evidence, should never have been closed. Heather, luscious malt and perfectly weighted peat - a masterpiece.
Bottle, capsule and tube are in perfect condition.
Level: Base of neck.

Colour: pale gold.
Nose: much more powerful and full of youth at first nosing, almost like if it would be 15 years younger. Rawer, rougher, starting mostly on huge farmy notes (wet hay, cow stable, wet dog), eucalyptus, wax, almonds, old books, wet cardboard, smoked tea, apple skin, walnuts Well, the list is endless as expected. Gets even wilder after a moment (hares belly having run on grass after the rain at 5 in the morning as some wine buffs would say -, civet, pheasant) Hints of mint. Peatier than both the Talisker and the Lagavulin. Just amazing at 30 years, I guess theres still quite some Brora from the early 70s in the vatting.
Mouth: bang! Rich, invading, thick, fat and almost oily, much more compact and direct than both the Talisker and the Lagavulin. Truckloads of peat, apple skin, marzipan and liquorice, with a little vanilla in the background and also lots of quince jelly, strong smoked tea and spices (pepper, nutmeg, dried cardamom). Hints of horseradish and mustard. Amazingly punchy, Im so glad I tasted the Talisker and the Lagavulin first. Very long finish of course, with again a little salt and quite some lemon skin, smoked tea and, of course, peat. Brilliantly compact, even if I feel the 2004 version was maybe still a slight notch above this one. But lets not split hairs, this is just what the doctor ordered!
