- Description
- Brora 1982 distilled in June 1982 and bottled 22 years later from a single sherry butt, represents the final years of this now-closed Highland distillery. Matured entirely in sherry cask, it develops rich dried fruit character — raisins, figs, and dark chocolate — with underlying cereal sweetness and an oily, velvety texture. The finish is long and warming, with lingering spice and oak tannins. Essential for collectors of closed distilleries and those seeking mature Highland whisky with serious sherry influence.
