- Description
- Brora 1972 is a 30-year-old Highland single malt bottled by Douglas Laing after maturation in a sherry cask, representing the now-closed distillery at an advanced age. Three decades in sherry wood has transformed the spirit with dried fruit, spice, and woody complexity characteristic of long sherry cask aging. The texture is deep and structured, with the sherry influence dominant and defining throughout. A collectable bottle for those seeking older Highland malts with traditional sherry-cask character.
