The Brora 1978 40-Year-Old is an exclusive release commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Brora distillery. Distilled in 1978 and bottled in 2019, this limited-edition whisky has been matured for four decades in 12 refill American oak hogsheads. The bottling is part of a limited run of only 1,819 bottles, a number that reflects the distillery's founding year.
Originally known as Clynelish, the distillery underwent a name change to Brora after a new Clynelish distillery was established nearby. This whisky is particularly noteworthy for its heavily peated character, a distinct quality that Brora produced in its later years. The release offers a glimpse into a past era of the distillery, as it was drawn from casks laid down in the year 1978.
This Brora expression boasts a considerable strength of 49.2% ABV. Each bottle is individually numbered and comes encased in a presentation case, making it a desirable addition to any whisky investment portfolio or collection. The whisky was released ahead of the distillery's reopening in 2020, adding another layer of significance to this commemorative bottling.
