Brora distillery (originally known as Clynelish) was built by the Duke of Sutherland in 1819. Prized by blenders, the distillery found itself in the hands of DCL in 1925 when they acquired shareholders, Ainslie & Heilbron and John Walker & Sons. DCL closed the distillery in 1967 after opening a new, larger Clynelish next-door, but re-opened the first site, now renamed as Brora the following year. Bottlings of the whisky it produced between then and its second closure in 1983 are now increasingly sought after. It was never bottled officially as Brora during its years of operation, and the Rare Malts Selection in 1995 were the first distillery bottlings to bear the name. In 2017 it was announced that Diageo planned to re-open this formerly lost gem, and the revived distillery filled its first casks on 19th May 2021.
The Rare Malts Selection releases were there followed by an annual distillery bottling as part of the Diageo special releases each year. The first of these was released in 2002, launching an official Brora single malt brand for the first time, and the last one was bottled in 2017.
This 34 year old expression was bottled in 2017 and is bottle no. 2316/3000

Scotland’s largest whisky region boasts a diverse array of styles, from rich and textured to fragrantly floral, as befits an ever-changing landscape of coastline, moor and mountain. Even without the famed Speyside enclave, you’ll find some of whisky’s most famous names here. The world renowned Dalmore, Aberfeldy, Glendronach, Glenmorangie, Oban and Tomatin distilleries all call the highlands their home but the tastes that they produce all vary more than the distance between them. The collectability of these famous highland brands makes them some of the most sought after whiskies in the world
