- Description
- Brora's 1971 distillation, bottled by Douglas Laing at 29 years old, represents one of Scotland's most coveted closed distilleries—Brora shut in 1983 and stocks remain scarce. Matured in sherry casks, this cask-strength expression at 50% ABV carries the weight and complexity that age in wood demands. The sherry influence builds layers of dried fruit and oak-driven depth across the palate and finish. A collector's whisky for those fortunate enough to encounter it.
