Brora (silent) First Cask Single Cask #278 Whisky 21 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Peat smoke drapes a salt-tinged sea breeze, with iodine and a waxy malt backdrop. Briny notes rise to citrus zest, while sherry cask influence hints at dried fig, cocoa and hazelnut. A refined coastal oak carries the aroma, leaving a lingering, smoky elegance.

Palate

Coats the palate with coastal peat smoke and iodine, tempered by sea-salt and lemon zest. A ribbon of sherry sweetness emerges—caramelized notes, dark chocolate and orange rind—softened by silky wax and oak. Spices rise: black pepper, thyme, and a hint of leather, leading to a long maritime finish with lingering smoke and mineral depth.

Finish

Long maritime finish with sea-salt and peat smoke, evolving into velvety sherry sweetness—dried fruit, cocoa, and spice—before fading in a final, warm oak glow.
