Brora 30 Year Old
Product Code: 10037
A distinguished and memorable Brora with all the key characteristics.
Our Opinion Exquisite sweetness, rich fruitiness and magnificently appetising savoury smoke are all here to explore.
Tasting Notes Palate: At first smooth, sweet and honeyed, then a split-second later drying, with instant smoke and medicinal notes. More savoury notes rise with (a little) water. There’s a lightly teeth-coating waxiness. Sweet overall, but with slight saltiness and an intriguing herbal flavour. Finish: Long and scented. At first, elegant with long malty notes: rich fruitiness with a charred, smoky backdrop. Then drying, with smouldering oak. Finally, salty-sweet.
Wine Maker
Method of Production Founded 1819 as Clynelish by the future Duke of Sutherland. Cost to build £750. Would buy just two or three bottles today! One of Scotland's earliest purpose-built malt whisky distilleries. Rebuilt & steam power introduced 1897. Closed 1931-38, 1941-1945. Stills direct coal-fired until 1961. New Clynelish distillery built 1967-8 and old distillery closed. Old distillery re-opened with re-built mash house 1975. Now named Brora. Produced alongside new Clynelish into early 80s in heavily peated “Islay” style. Closed 1983. The first 30 year old won a Gold medal at IWSC 2003. A 25 year old bottled in 2008 won Gold at San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2009.
