Last week I had the opportunity to taste the Brora 37 Years Old Special Release 2015 50.4% at the Diageo headquarters.

My tasting notes for the Brora:

Nose: Lightly peated. A pleasant smoldering heather fire. A little hay, but not to overwhelming. More grassy with time. You can definably smell old leather and black tea, more like a” Lapsang souchong” black tea. Really pleasant and complex nose. 24/25

Mouth: Don’t we all love licorice? It also contains some herbal notes like laurel and stable tones. Again the pleasant smoldering peat and lapsang black thee. The taste evolves to a more hazelnut like taste. Not too much woodiness, just a little. It’s creamy buttery in the mouthfeel. Oh I do like this very much. 24/25

Finish: Very long and pleasant finish with hay tones and licorice…and then the finish turns into a kiwi fruitiness…oh I love that. 24/25

Balance: This extremely well balanced. At the first sniff you know this a stunner who grabs you in all its complexity. 24/25

Comments: It is a beautiful whisky. This is the reason we connoisseurs live for. Every once in a while a whisky is so outstanding and perfect it makes you smile all day long. This is exactly what this Brora did for me.

Score: 96/100 points...Extremely well done lads!
