- Description
- Brora 1982, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 1999 after approximately 17 years in wood, captures the distillery's signature peated character in a mature, well-integrated form. The extended aging has softened the smoke, allowing maritime and heather notes to emerge alongside subtle peat, with underlying honey and orchard fruit adding roundness. The texture is rich and oily, the finish persistent with gentle smoke and spice that fades gradually. An excellent example of Scottish Highland peat whisky for those seeking balance between smoke and refinement.
