- Description
- This 1982 Brora, distilled just before the distillery's closure and aged 20 years in oloroso sherry, was bottled by Ian Macleod in 2003 at 46% ABV. The sherry cask integration brings rich dried fruit and spice to Brora's naturally robust Highland character. Rare and historically significant, this represents a final vintage of a defunct distillery. Essential for collectors and those exploring Scotch whisky history.
