In a night where I tried a lot of whiskies, this one stood out. (Thanks Tim!) Notes are accordingly sparse.
Nose - nice Brora! (Didn't I tell you the notes were sparse?) Palate: YUM! Big and fruity. Very long finish. Where's the oak?
Yeah, so they're not the best notes I've ever taken. I was too busy helping myself to re-samples. My recollection is that it stood up to some of the better OB's from the past decade.
UPDATE: Just retasted this in the Clynelish-Brora meeting. Notes forthcoming, but I still really liked it.
n: soft and gentle, explosion of honeysuckle and roasted sunflower seeds. Golden hay and a delicious golden malt.
t: cohesive and delicious, with golden raisin and dry lemon citrus. Gentle oak, white peppe, and malt in the middle. Bit of bright spice and mint in the long, delicious finish. Nice ABV% strength, but drinks like a honeyed black tea.
