I have had lovely Port Ellens, though, and do mourn its pass and pricing. Still, I'm pretty darn sure that your collection holds gems that can whup most Broras.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-77602241389658188552014-11-18T19:25:59.603-05:002014-11-18T19:25:59.603-05:00The Brora train is some expensive s**t.

Well-aged Laphroaig and (some) well-aged Talisker beat this bottling, but damn it if those whiskies' prices aren't skyrocketing too.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-73931446117490631632014-11-18T17:39:19.531-05:002014-11-18T17:39:19.531-05:00I only had two or three Broras in my life and none...I only had two or three Broras in my life and none of them made a great impression. I liked the 25yo 1975 Rare Malts version, but I would not buy it (it was gift my grandfather gave me) due to price / value ratio. Maybe I should give it a try with one of those annual releases... we will see.Cobohttp://www.whiskybase.com/profile/cobo/collectionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-22651267511895681012014-11-18T14:40:28.301-05:002014-11-18T14:40:28.301-05:00I tried it as part of a tasting Ralfy hosted and f...I tried it as part of a tasting Ralfy hosted and found it... uninspiring? Admittedly it was amidst a bunch of other whiskies and I didn't get to spend a lot of time with it, but the charms must be subtle. As it was it read like a decent but not over-the-top peated whisky. So I will probably stay off the Brora train for now.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.com
