Brora (silent) 2003 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glints and hints of mahogany.

Nose

Sea-salted peat and maritime iodine rise on a bed of sherry richness, with orange zest and dark raisin notes. Waxy vanilla, cocoa and toasted oak weave through, while faint leather and spice lend poised, old-rare elegance.

Palate

Oily, full-bodied palate that coats the tongue with waxy richness. Saline sea spray and iodine ride the peat smoke, while sherry-dark fruit—fig and raisin—deepens the profile, layered with leather and spice. The 55.7% ABV delivers a warming, long finish of smoke, mineral ash, and enduring sweetness.

Finish

Long maritime finish with coastal brine and peat smoke, unfolding into dried fruit, cacao and subtle leather. A warm, resinous echo of sherry oak lingers, salted and refined, fading to a final, velvet quiet.
