Brora 20 yo 1975/1995 (54.9%, Rare Malts)
This 20 yo 1975 has been bottled at various strengths in 1995 and 1996. Colour: straw. Nose: this is so much sharper and firmer that it’s almost violent when compared to the OMC. Frankly peatier – although it’s got nothing to do with the 1972’s etc. -, more complex, with something mineral and both maritime and farmy. Sea air, wet hay, kelp, ‘clean’ cow stable, ‘clean’ wet dog… And then we do have the same fruity notes (apricots, peaches and such). Rather impressive, this intermediate Brora! I like it a lot. Mouth: really powerful but also very coherent, starting on just the perfect mix of peatiness, waxiness, fruitiness and ‘coastality’. Extremely compact and invading, with quite some bee propolis, apple seeds, a little cardamom and mustard again, white pepper… All that on apple pie and marzipan… Extremely assertive and really complex at the same time, with a long and almondy finish… Not in the same league as the 1970-1973 but an excellent surprise.
