Description

This is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky from the Brora distillery, distilled in 1975 and matured for 20 years. It was released as part of Diageo's highly regarded Rare Malts Selection, a series known for showcasing cask-strength whiskies from both operational and 'ghost' distilleries. This bottling offers a glimpse into Brora's style before its closure in 1983, characterized by a combination of peat smoke, maritime influences, and a distinctive waxy character. It is a limited edition, natural cask strength release.
