Hittade ytterligare en till bra pris på whiskyauction. Min poäng: 93 p

Brora 23 yo 1982/2006 (50%, Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask, 348 bottles)
Colour: deep gold. Nose: very fresh and rather fruity at first nosing, with whiffs of olive oil and flowers from the fields. Enjoyable, no doubt, but as far of ‘Brora’ as you can imagine – closer to a Balvenie, in fact, or perhaps to a fresh oak matured Glenmorangie. Develops on apricots, vanilla crème, fresh butter, fudge, light caramel, light honey, plums… Not really ‘Brora’ but very nice, I must say.
Mouth: very sweet, creamy, with a most enjoyable blend of apricot jam and soft spices. Quite honeyed, at that, switching then to notes of mustard and pepper, old rum (not too dark), bananas flambéed… The finish is long, very satisfying, sweet and firm at the same time… In short, it’s not ‘Brora’ (right, Brora was protean anyway) but it’s flawless and very good.
87 points Nose: Big, rich, sweet, fruity, smoky and vanilla'd.
Palate: Sherried, mouth-coatingly syrupy, chewy, tannic.
Finish: Smoky, citric, oaky, still vannila'd.
