Limited Edition 34 Year Old Natural Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Bottle size

The 16th edition of irreplaceable whiskies from closed distillery Brora, always a highlight of Diageo’s Special Releases. This 34-year-old Highland single malt, distilled in 1982, is an elegant and restrained take on Brora’s characteristic waxy and smoky notes. Part of the Diageo 2017 Special Releases, this limited edition single malt was distilled at Brora in 1982. The distillery on the Sutherland coast in the Highlands closed just one year later in 1983. Filled to refill American oak hogsheads to mature for 34 years, 3,000 individually numbered bottles of this Highland single malt have been produced at a natural cask strength of 51.9% abv. 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.…

This was one of two Dream Drams I tested today at the Whisky Show in London - my first Brora. It has a fragile somewhat waxy nose light tea flavors (Lord Dim and so forth) in the mouth and a salty exquisite completion of critical length. Its in every case hard to completely welcome a whisky at these occasions - and close to difficult to recognize a four star and a five star - yet this is unmistakably a tasteful whisky with a one of a kind flavor profile that merits more thought than I could give it. A treat.

Tasting Notes

Nose

At first maritime and mineral, with dried seaweed. Then a wave of flavours suggest a cider farm's workshop in springtime. Finally, sweet flavours roll in with green leaves, all on a faintly waxy base.

Taste

The waxy texture for which Brora is renowned starts sharper than you expect, with fruit, chili and fresh-ground black pepper. As the heat subsides, fruity dark chocolate and soft barrel-char smoke appear.

Finish

Some spice in the finish as aniseed slowly fade to leave sweet-spicy oak. With a final quick burst of black pepper and sweet fruit.
