Tasting Note from www.whiskyfun.org
"It is the 12th release of Brora. Already! An incredible Brora and I couldn't believe it's all from the 1977 vintage, since there are obvious notes of '1972' (and adjacent vintages). So the peat is less discreet than I had thought, while the rest is of an incredible complexity, sometimes soft and elegant, sometimes bigger and full of seashells, oysters, seaweed and tar. I remember having found, both in the nose and in the palate, some verbena, some absinth (that was in the 1978 as well, now I remember) some kippers, smoked salmon and even fish oil, a lot of wax (of course), some grapefruits, some liquorice and a feeling of bone dry white wine of very high quality. And in the finish, a slight smoky and fresh acridness that I simply adored. Having said thatr I have to confess I was a little disappointed because I had hoped Diageo would have granted us with a 40 yo 1972 this year, but in fact I found this new 35 quite... flabbergasting. That, I remember very well."The 12th release of Brora, a 2013 bottling was distilled in 1977 and bottled at 49.9%. Rumours abound that this could be the final bottling of this iconic whisky, but only time will tell. 95pts from Serge at Whisky Fun.
Loch Lomond Organic Single Malt 12 Year

A lovely fresh new organic single malt bottled by Loch Lomond Distillers, and a big move away from their tired old expressions. Lots of honey, malt and toast oak with citrus notes in the background. Who knew they were planning to move in this direction 12 years ago? Kudos!

SOPHISTICATED DELICATE & FEMININE: A 19 year old Speysider from a Refill Bourbon Hogshead bottled at 55.7%. "Intense fruity sweetness, spices and perfumes, spiced apple chutney, poached pears, Greek yogurt with honey, star anise, ginger, clove and flower stems."
Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose had sweet freshness (elderflower, apple strudel, white jellybabies) with a tantalizing feminine feeling – powder puff and heather scentedsoap. Further interest came from malt loaf, tobacco leaf, soft leather, marmalade, toffee and aromatic duck. On the palate we caught intense fruity sweetness, spices and perfumes – people mentioned spiced apple chutney, poached pears, Greek yogurt with honey, star anise, ginger, clove and flower stems. The reduced nose picked up the sophisticated, delicate threads of dewberry (Body Shop), geranium, pot-pourri, apple and scented candles. The palate now balanced toffee with sandalwood, blackcurrant and flowers.Another gem from the Marypark maestros."
Drinking Tip: "For a romantic moment - hopefully."
