"... Brora is maybe not that easy to recognise here but it's excellent whisky for sure, even if better so on the palate. One of the most lemony Broras I ever tried." (4.5 stars-Whiskyfun) Brora closed in 1983 and stood silent long into the 21st century before undergoing a remarkable restoration and reopening in 2021.

The Brora distillery was built in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford, although it was known as "Clynelish" until the opening of the Clynelish Distillery in 1968, whereupon the name of the original Clynelish was changed to "Brora". Between May 1969 and July 1973, Brora produced a heavily peated whisky to supply for blending; this was done to cover a shortage of Islay whisky caused by a drought in that region. Most of the whisky produced as Brora after 1973 is in the lightly peated Highland style.

*Note: Box is not in perfect condition and there are marks. The whisky itself is immaculate! The bottle is great also.
