- Description
- Brora's 1982 vintage was distilled just one year before the legendary Highland distillery's closure, and this 19-year-old expression spent maturation in sherry butt, bottled by Ian Macleod in 2001. The extended sherry aging imparts rich dried fruit, warming spice, and honeyed depth to Brora's characteristically oily, waxy spirit base. A relic of an extinct distillery and a testament to how sherry cask influence enriched Highland character during this era.
