Blimey, this 30 year old is such a pale gold first look, innit? Nose hits you with light peat, like that light-Ardmore level stuff, mixed with that coastal salty air, olive brine, little lemony tartness cutting through, plus some fresh grass notes, faint chalky mineral tang too. Got that soft sherry feeling, raisin hints, weissbeer-esque tang on the finish? Then there’s that weird medicinal candlewax whiff, almost like faint ointments, even a hint of ex-Laphroaig cask salt, y’know? Cost me 600 Euros, ridiculously expensive OBs but bloody very good, proper intriguing Braeval vibe with that subtle Brora-y edge. 🥃

Sipped it slow and the pale gold colour caught my eye – almost like a weissbier in a fancy glass. The first nose was a light peat smoke, just enough to remind me of a coastal walk, then a hint of candle‑wax and that medicinal bite you get from an old Laphroaig cask. On the palate the lemony tartness came right through, mingling with a touch of salt and olive brine, while a whisper of chalk and grass kept it fresh. There’s a subtle raisin sweetness and a sherry‑like depth that feels oddly comforting, like a good ointment on a sore finger. It’s 30 years old, costs a pretty ridiculous 600 Euros, but the whole experience feels worth every penny – very intriguing, very good, and oddly reminiscent of a breezy Braes afternoon. 😊

Picked up this 30-year-old dram the other day — cost me a small fortune, honestly 😅 First sip... wow. There's this chalky mineral thing going on, like licking a limestone wall (in a good way lol). Then comes this lovely weissbeer-ish wheaty sweetness that just melts into dried raisins and a proper sherry warmth. After a few minutes it opens up — fresh cut grass, lemons, a bit of lemony tartness that makes your mouth water. Then out of nowhere this faint medicinal edge creeps in, almost coastal salty. Really takes me back to those old closed distillery bottlings, you know the ones. The peat is gentle though, barely there — just a whisper of smoke in the background. Not aggressive at all. Blended together it's honestly very good, quite intriguing really. You'd never guess it was this old, it's still got so much life. But the price tag... 600 quid? 🤯 I mean, some of these official bottlings are just ridiculously expensive these days. Worth trying if you can find a sample, but I'd need to win the lottery to keep a bottle on the shelf 😂

哈，这杯闻起来有柠檬皮和盐的感觉，带点药房里那种消毒水味儿。喝起来倒是挺柔和的，雪莉带来的果干甜香混着一点草香，回味里有些蜡质和矿物感。烟熏很克制，像海边篝火的余烬。价格估计不便宜，但作为日常小酌还行。😄

嗯，倒出来是pale gold的颜色，很好看。闻着有明显的salt和coastal空气的味道，很新鲜，夹杂着一丝lemony tartness，挺提神的。 喝起来那个salt感更明显了，像是混着橄榄盐水，weissbeer的清爽感也出来了。但底下压着一股很沉稳的peat smoke，不冲，只是悠悠地萦绕，让人想起海岸边的篝火余烬。 真的很Brora-y，那种古老又复杂的气质。咽下去后嘴里还有点ointment药膏的回味，但一点不讨厌，反而觉得很有趣。这酒体挺有意思的，喝着喝着就让人放空了。 感觉600欧元这个价，换来这种奇特的体验，好像也说得过去？🤔 很独特的沿海风格。
