Brora 1978 40 Year Old / 200th Anniversary

Brora distillery, formerly known as Clynelish was initially closed after a new distillery was built next-door in 1967, and assumed the Clynelish name. The original distillery re-opened after a year’s hiatus, and bottlings of the whisky it produced between then and its second closure in 1983 are now increasingly sought after. It was never bottled officially as Brora during its years of operation, and the Rare Malts Selection were the first distillery bottling to bear the name. In 2017 it was announced that Diageo planned to re-open this formerly lost gem.

A spectacular and luxurious bottling of Brora, distilled in 1978 and unveiled in 2019 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the distillery.

The liquid was drawn from 12 refill American oak hogsheads, and is limited to just 1819 bottles.
