Description

A unicorn whisky for many collectors and connoisseurs, this legendary 1972 Brora was bottled by Diageo as part of their Rare Malts range. Wine gums, orange and lemon zest and a touch of fresh pineapple join ocean spray, peat and woodsmoke on the nose. The palate is fruity with waves of complex peat and peppery spice. Sumtuous and giving, the finish brings in moreish baked orchard fruits.
