- Description
- Brora's 1st Release from 2002 marked the beginning of Diageo's highly regarded Special Releases series, delivering a Highland single malt bottled at cask strength (52.4% ABV) from a now-closed distillery renowned for its complex character. The 30-year maturation creates a sophisticated palate of dried fruit, subtle peat smoke, and oak spice, with a rich, full-bodied texture that coats the mouth. The finish is long and warming, with hints of maritime influence typical of Brora's Clynelish heritage. This is a collector's benchmark for serious malt enthusiasts seeking a rare, highly-rated Highland whisky with gravitas.
