A sensational new bottling and probably the most oldest bottlings of Brora to be released! This 40 Year Old Brora has been created to mark the 200th anniversary of the silent distillery’s original opening, having been founded in 1819. The 40-year-old whisky is a vatting of 12 American oak hogsheads laid down in 1978 all over an era of peated whisky production..
Not surprisingly this can be a very limited release with just 1,819 bottles being produced. This is the first official release from Brora since 2017, when it used to be got rid of from Diageo’s annual Special Release series and comes a year before the planned reopening of the famous Sutherland distillery.
Bottled at 49.2% abv, the whisky is described as having aromas of ‘wealthy, sweet fruit, ripe figs… and fire and brimstone’, with a ‘smooth, calmly waxy texture and a strong, wealthy, darkly sweet, savoury, then in any case smoky taste’. Dr Criag Wilson, master blender for Diageo also suggests thta this can be a whisky reflecting the peak of Brora’s heavily peated style and that this can be a multi-layered and complex single malt of astonishing quality.’
A should for any Brora fan or serious collector!
