Brora 24 year old 1977 Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Brora 24 year old Rare Malts Selection bottled at Natural Cask Strength.
Distilled in 1977 and bottled  October 2001.
Limited Edition. Bottle Number 3968


Built in 1819 by the Marquis of Stafford, destined to be future Duke of Sutherland, Brora now closed, enjoyed fine buildings and befitting one of Scotlands earliest purpose built malt distilleries.

To enjoy this bright gold 24 year old Northern Highland cask strength at its best, measure one part whisky to two parts spring still water at room temperature.

Any slight cloudiness is normal in an un-filtered cask strength malt whisky.

When tasting, look for the bracing iodine aromas and polished, sweet smokey character of this mighty coastal malt, with its long, finally mustard-dry finish.
