Brora 35 Year Old Bottled 2012

Brora 1982 20 Year Old

Brora is the stuff of legend, certainly older Brora. This 20 Year Old was bottled by Diageo in their last, often praised and by now almost unaffordable, Rare Malts Selection in 2003.

It’s the 2009 release, of which I got a sample (because 250 quid for a bottle is above my budget). The nose is wonderfully creamy and spicy with peat and salt, white fruit and baked banana. Some furniture polish, but also...
