1100.2 BRORA 1978 (40 YEARS)
BRORA 1978 (40 YEARS) – 200TH ANNIVERSARY
This limited edition single malt was distilled at Brora distillery in 1978 during an era when the distillery produced a peated malt using heavily peated northern Highland barley.
This expression from the soon-to-be-revived distillery has been bottled at 40 years old to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the original opening date. Limited to just 1,819 bottles – which also happens to be the year Brora was founded – this edition is bottled at 49.2% abv.
The whisky clear amber in appearance, with long, fine beading. On the nose, there’s sweet, smoky peat wafts, treacle toffee, ripe figs, raisings, and with water, sacking and tweet notes come through. On the palate, there’s a waxy texture with sweet and savoury smoke, dates, white pepper, and a minty note with a dash of water. The finish long, rich, and sweetly warming.
