Brora (silent)
(Bror-ah)
Meaning “The Bridges River” this is a distillery much missed by whisky lovers and was another casualty of the 1980’s closures after closing in 1983. Founded on the same site as where the Clynelish distillery now sits by the 1st Duke of Sutherland in the north Highland coastal town of Brora. The house style here was big, bold, waxy and earthy with some peaty coastal smoke and a number of limited special edition Diageo bottles have been released since its closure up to 35 years old and becoming one of the most collectable of the silent distilleries.
