Brora 15th Release 38 Year Old, Refill American & European Oak Cask, 2016, 48.6%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

90 / 100

Refill American and European oak is a useful detail, and the notes sound lively rather than one-note: citrus, wax and peat lead into a bittersweet finish with ginger and dark chocolate. I like that mix of fresh and smoky notes, with the cask information clearly stated.
