Having closed in 1983 during one of the most challenging periods for the industry, Brora’s whisky gained legendary status among connoisseurs all over the world. This precious single malt was distilled at Brora in 1972 and bottled in 2002, at a natural strength 52.4% ABV. The nose is slightly smoky but also fruity, with notes of vanilla, peaches, nuts, ginger and hints of sea salt. The palate is smooth and easy-going, featuring gooseberries, apple skins, honey and oranges.

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!
