Detailed Description
A rich and maritime Brora bottling from Signatory Vintage. Distilled in 1982, the year before the distillery closed, and aged for 20 years, this was bottled in November 2002. It’s an excellent example of the more austere and coastal side of Brora’s character.

Distillery Information
The Brora distillery was built in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford, although it was known as “Clynelish” until the opening of the Clynelish Distillery in 1968, whereupon the name of the original Clynelish was changed to “Brora”. Between May 1969 and July 1973, Brora produced a heavily peated whisky to supply for blending; this was done to cover a shortage of Islay whisky caused by a drought in that region. Most of the whisky produced as Brora after 1973 is in the lightly peated Highland style.
