A truly special, once in a generation release to mark the momentous reopening of the mystical distillery since it closed in 1983. This type of bottling is so rare and special, with only 300 sets released, it is a genuine piece of history and art from one of Scotland’s most fabled distilleries. A release of this kind will not be possible to replicate for at least another half century, or at least until the year 2070.
Brora Triptych is a truly special one – assembling a set of the three eras that epitomise Brora. Each liquid a celebration of restoration and an ode to the rare characteristics that define Brora whisky; waxy, peated and earthy. A collection of three vintages that define Brora never before released at once, this is a true collector’s piece.
ELUSIVE LEGACY (42.8%): A rare style from casks of 1972, this whisky represents an earthy expression, only created in short periods throughout the distillery's history. This fleeting icon has grown to becoming a defining character from Brora.
AGE OF PEAT (48.6%): Brora's Age Of Peat, between 1972-1980 saw peating levels rise to meet soaring demand for blended whiskies. Highland whiskies were not renowned for their high levels of peat at this time. Today we celebrate these whiskies in their own right, with an expression drawn from casks of 1977.
TIMELESS ORIGINAL (47.5%): This expression is from limited stocks of 1982 and represents the distinct waxiness that made Brora famous. Returning to lower peating levels, reflective of Brora whisky before the age of peat, this signature style allows Brora's waxy character to truly sing.
This is a true collector's edition.
