Brora 37 Years Old 1977 70cl 50.4°
Distilled in 1977 and bottled in 2015, this Brora of intense gold colour is quite rare. Only 2 976 bottles of this sweet and strong Scotch whisky have been released, with a caramel sparkling, red fruits and marzipan, coated with the finest cocoa powder.
Its perfume evokes a wood fire and then, a lovely sweetened mix meets the nose: accents of raisins, roasted coconut, honey, lemon peel and marzipan. These aromas are contrasted with intense hints of peat, a dash of water revealing a light scent of jam, smooth caramel and intense notes of mint, herbs and perfumed bath salts.
Bottled at cask-strength, it develops a perfectly balanced taste of sweet and spices, underlined with a hint of wood smoke.

The distillery is bought in 1896 by the James Ainslie & Co group that resells some of its share to the DLC (Distillers Company Ltd) in 1912. In 1967, a semi-detached distillery called Clynelish is built. The old distillery is closed and reopened in 1975 under the Brora name, and definitely closed in 1983.
