- Description
- This 1977 Brora represents the distillery's final distillation run and the end of its celebrated 'age of peat' era, bottled at 48.2% ABV after 45 years of maturation. The whisky captures Highland peat in its sweetest form—less aggressive than Islay, more elegant—layered with honey, dried fruit, heather, and subtle maritime notes. The texture is rich and mouth-coating with a long, warming finish balancing smoke and sweetness. A historically significant dram and a rare experience from a storied distillery now remarkably restored.
