Brora (silent) Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1981 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with mahogany depths and a copper glow, a warm sherry-kissed hue.

Nose

Opulent, smoky Brora with a velvety sherry hush. Dried figs and raisins mingle with orange zest, dark chocolate, and toffee; cinnamon and clove deepen the spice. A maritime wink of sea air and waxy wood lends Brora’s signature saline lift.

Palate

Rich and opulent on the palate, Brora from an ex-Sherry cask offers velvety warmth with dark fruit depth—prune, fig and raisin—mantled in cocoa and espresso notes. Subtle peat smoke threads through, with orange zest, toffee and leather, all carried by coastal Brora salinity. Full-bodied yet refined, the finish lingers with spice, cacao, and a faint maritime brine.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish of dark fruit and chocolate drenched in sherry, with Brora’s peat lingering like a coastal breeze. Cocoa, fig and orange zest persist as a toasty oak warms the palate, giving way to leather, a whisper of tobacco, and a final, ashy smoke that slowly fades into mineral, lasting warmth.
