Amber Room Review

Brora 35 Years Old bottled 2012 48,1%

20 July 2026
92

Nose

Creamy, sweet, honey, toffee, a very subtle delicate nose of peat smoke

Body

Definitely sweet, honey, caramel, slightly grassy, oily, oranges, tropical fruits, light smoke, a very full body that would suggest a 55-60% whisky rather than 48%

Finish

Long dry zesty finish
