1100.1 BRORA 1972 (40 YEARS)
BRORA 40 YEAR OLD 1972?
The record-breaking Brora 40 Year Old 1972 Vintage was one of just 160 bottles from the distillery, and was originally priced at £6,995 when it was released.
The whisky was presented in a crystal decanter, encased in a handcrafted wooden case made by the Queen’s cabinet makers at NEJ Stevenson. The fine pale gold malt in this exquisite decanter is a proud and rare survivor of another age.
The decanter bears the golden emblem of the Scottish Wildcat, a now endangered species, which featured on the family crest of the distiller’s founder, the Duke of Sutherland.
Limited to only 160 bottles, Brora 40 Year Old 1972 has set a new auction record for the brand after a bottle sold for £54,450 (US$69,848) at auction on 24th October, 2019 in London.a
James Mackay, head of rare and collectible spirits at Diageo, said: “For many, Brora is considered a masterpiece of the whisky world due to the quality of its liquid and its extremely rare status. The distillery will enter a new era from next year when Brora’s historic stills will once again create spirit.”
