Brora Rare Old Gordon & MacPhail 1978 is a historical Highland single malt bottled by the independent specialist. Distilled in 1978, this spirit has undergone decades of maturation, resulting in a profile of immense depth and aromatic lift. The bouquet is a complex web of black cherries, honeyed malt, old leather and exotic spices. On the palate, the whisky is full-bodied and richly textured, with a seamless integration of oak and fruit. Flavours of fruitcake, dark chocolate and cedar develop through the mid-palate, leading into a finish of remarkable length and persistence.

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!
