Tasting Notes & Character

Nose: Richly complex and oily. It opens with Brora's signature scented beeswax, old canvas, and honey. This is backed by autumn leaves, orange rinds, distant chimney smoke, and a unique industrial touch of watch oil and minerals.

Palate: Highly textured, waxy, and far more powerful than the nose suggests. It features prominent notes of farmy peat smoke, cracked black pepper, and sea salt, balanced by ripe orchard fruits (apples, pears), licorice, and vanilla bean.

Finish: Long, warming, and distinctly dry. It leaves lingering traces of soot, maritime brine, old oak, and fading wood ash.
