This 1972 Brora Rare Malts Selection has been bottled at a high ABV of 61.1% after 22 years of maturation.
Brora has become something of a cult distillery since its closure in 1983. Owned by Diageo, the distillery has remained dormant for many years but regular special releases from Brora has kept it at the forefront of drinkers' and collectors' thoughts and ensuring bottles such as this 1972 22 year old have remained in great demand.
In 2017 Diageo announced plans to refurbish and reopen Brora, much to the delight of whisky fans. The distillery is currently pending-reopening.
In the wake of the announcement, Brora has been thrust back into the spotlight. As has this particular bottling – Brora Rare Malts 1972 22-Year-Old. Many whisky enthusiasts have championed 1972 as the best year in Brora’s production, and whisky bloggers have rated this one of their highest-scoring whiskies of all time.
The growing interest in Brora pending its reopening and the fascination with aged stocks of closed distilleries is adding to the animation surrounding this bottle. With the reopening of Brora delayed until later in 2021, this bottle is of even more value. Brora stocks are fast depleting, and this bottle is a rarity – one of the last chances for whisky enthusiasts to own an ‘old-style’ bottle of Brora before the distillery is propelled into its new era.
