Brora (silent) Spirit of Scotland Whisky 15 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Radiant golden amber with sun-kissed copper highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Bold peat smoke meets sea air—brine and a coastal mineral lift. Beneath, citrus zest and honeyed barley mingle with vanilla oak and a whisper of sherry, lending warmth without heaviness. Subtle medicinal herbs and a pinch of pepper add complexity as the aroma evolves, hinting at a maritime, refined character.

Palate

Coiled peat and sea-salt give way to rich sherry fruits—date, fig and raisin—intertwined with roasted nuts. Middle sweetness threads citrus zest with mineral brine, while the finish expands into enduring smoke, cocoa and a touch of leather. Silky yet precise, the palate echoes Brora’s maritime power in a balanced, elegant 15-year frame.

Finish

A long, maritime finish of iodine-smoked peat and sea-salt, slowly unveiling notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a gentle sherry sweetness that lingers with whispered oak and coastal air.
