2017’s Special Release Brora is the sixteenth in the series from this celebrated closed coastal north Highlands distillery.

Distilled in 1982, in which time far less peat was once being used than all over previous decade, it spent over 34 years in refill American oak hogsheads.

Only 3000 bottles released.

Finely integrated and smoothed out, the standard key notes of waxiness and fragrant smokiness are much reduced, at the same time as the elegant taste also offers an uncommon and attractive note of szechuan pepper.

8.9/10 Whisky Magazine

Nose: Impressively delicate and restrained to start with, then a ground almond and lime cordial edge comes through. It opens to a rebellion of floral, orange and lemons.

Palate: An enormous wave of custard cream and vanilla pods hit first, then there’s a gentle smoke in the background. Griddled pineapple and a hint of spice from chilli pods.

Finish: Takes its time, church candles and barbour jackets.

Well worth bearing with this slow magestic whisky. Once it opens up it’s engaging and multi-layered.
