Brora (silent) 2012 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 35 Year Old · 1977 Vintage
In stock
At the time of release, this was the oldest official bottling of Brora ever produced. Brora single malt was rarely bottled in the distillery's lifetime, but exceptional posthumous releases can still be found, albeit in diminishing quantities. This moderately peated release is astonishingly complex and remarkably savoury, offering flavours and aromas of spicy oak, cured meats, kipper, earth, and tar, alongside some bold, sweet fruits.
Product Details
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery glints and a sunset-gold glow, suggesting sherry-dark richness.
Nose
A complex, savoury nose of spicy oak and peat smoke, with cured meats, kipper, earth and tar, all brightened by bold, sweet fruit notes.
Palate
Savory, peaty richness unfolds on the palate. Spicy oak and briny smoke frame curing-meat and kipper notes, while earth and tar lend a mineral bite. Bold dark-fruit sweetness—fig and plum—gleams beneath, guiding a long, peppery finish.
Finish
Exquisitely long and savoury, the finish coats the palate with smoky tar and medicinal peat, like coastal embers burning softly. Spicy oak frames cured-meat depth and kipper notes, while earthiness threads through a restrained sweetness of dark fruits. It fades to a dry, refined glow, with a persistent peppery spice lingering as the final, elegant note.
