HTFW Cat. No: LP15016
Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

The very last of the 1980 casks, distilled during the golden age of peated Brora. Stored separately for safe keeping, reunited for this final 1980 release. A fitting tribute to a great legacy aged in American Oak for 40 years, its fragrant smokiness lingers in the long, warming finish.

The Prima & Ultima 2nd Release has been personally hand-selected by Master of Malts Maureen Robinson; "I hope this final ultra-rare release of 1980 Brora pays fitting tribute to a great legacy.”.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Burnished copper.

Nose

A relaxed superstar, with a lightly drying aroma of mineral and maritime notes, backed by soft hints of almond oil and a touch of light smoke.

Palate

Smoothly waxy on the tongue, the palate is rounded with a sweet, smoky core. Bittersweet burnt caramel and a pinch of sea salt mingle with subtle mineral notes, finishing with a lasting, warming glow.

Finish

Fragrant smokiness lingers in the long, warming finish.

Brora (silent)
(BRAW-ruh) Brora was founded in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford, later the Duke of Sutherland, and originally operated as Clynelish. The present Clynelish distillery was built next door in the late 1960s, after which the original site was reopened in 1969 and renamed Brora. During the early Brora years it produced a heavily peated style for blending, before gradually returning to a lighter Highland character.
