Brora 24 Year Old 1981 La Maison Du Whisky is a premium single malt from the closed Highland distillery, bottled for the renowned French specialist. Distilled in 1981 and matured for 24 years, this expression represents a selection of the finest long-aged stocks. The nose is profound and multi-layered, featuring notes of dark chocolate, dried figs, tobacco and honeyed oak. On the palate, the whisky is full-bodied and velvety, displaying a concentrated fruit character balanced by a sophisticated spicy structure. The long maturation has integrated the wood perfectly, resulting in a spirit of great balance and complexity.

Originally known as Clynelish, Brora was established in the early 1800s by the Duke of Sutherland. The distillery was popular with blenders to the point where a second site was required to meet demand (still in operational as Clynelish). The original distillery was closed in the late 1960s and reopened in the 1970s, producing a range of malts - from heavily peated to very lightly peated.
Having long been one of the most popular closed distilleries for collectors and drinkers, Brora is now being refurbished and reopened by the current owners Diageo. The first bottlings are expected in the mid to late 2020s - the whisky world waits with baited breath!
