    Single Malt

    Brora 28 Year Old 1981 - Old and Rare Platinum (Douglas Laing)

    A very rare Brora. This single cask was bottled by Douglas Laing, and there are just 93 bottles! Distilled in June 1981 and matured for 28 years before bottling in November 2009.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Spent matches, caramel, quite sulphured but with a decent dollop of dried fruit sweetness to balance it out.

    Palate

    The sulphur continues, but takes a backseat to a brilliant rush of caster sugar sweetness, dried fruits and stem ginger.

    Finish

    Spices, hints of rubber and oak, honeynuts.

    Soaked in sulphury notes

    This bottling has nothing but sulphur (struck matches) in both nose, taste and finish. Bad cask management from the distillers to begin with...and shame on Douglas Laing for bottling this one, let alone charging 360£ for it! :-(
