Description

Connoisseurs Choice is one of the most easily recognised ranges from the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail. This range was launched by George Urquhart in the 1960s. Brora is a storied distillery in the Sutherland area of Scotland. Despite having closed in 1983, it developed cult status for the high quality single malt it had produced, particularly a peated style between 1969 and 1973. Such was its popularity, it was eventually rebuilt by Diageo and opened again in 2021.

Nose
Inviting, moderate smoke, with bran and grain muffins. Highly medicinal, Iodine and peated awesomeness. Rich and spicy peat, bacon, cakey, Cinnabun. Some automotive smells. Smells dilute, cut hay, warm caramel, dried fruits, anise and sherry.
Palate
Light peat, lemon water, very watered down. Mulchyard. Iodine in the exhalation. Very light and thin. Sweet bbq corn, tea with hints of lilacs and lavender. Fruit and smoke, earthy. A farmy powerhouse of a dram, filled to the brim with peat, wax, smoke and minerals.
Finish
Continues the theme at length, with antiseptic stuff. A quick burst of peat. Fruit and smoke, earthy.
