product Details

Brora 1972 Gordon and MacPhail Spirit of Scotland 

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. 

Brora was re-opened in 1969 to produce heavily peated spirit to make up for a shortfall of Islay whisky due to a drought on the island. Brora vintages from 1973 onwards reverted to the lightly peated Highland style. Many of the bottlings of this brief period of peated vintages are legendary. 

Distilled in 1972, this was bottled in the 1980s by Gordon & MacPhail under their Speymal pseudonym for the Spirit of Scotland range.
