Description

This Brora 30 Year Old 2004 Release is the 3rd Annual Special Release from the silent Highland distillery, Brora. Distilled in 1974 and bottled in 2004 at natural cask strength of 56.6% ABV, this limited edition comprises 3,000 individually numbered bottles. It was matured in a combination of American bourbon and European sherry casks. Brora, originally known as Clynelish, produced heavily peated whisky between 1969 and 1973, a style evident in this release. The distillery was mothballed in 1983 and later reopened in 2021.
