The Brora 1981 DT Rare Auld #1424 is a remarkable whisky, embodying the storied legacy of the legendary Brora distillery, once known as Clynelish. This illustrious distillery, initially closed in 1967 after the construction of a new neighboring distillery, reopened a year later and continued production until its final closure in 1983. Brora bottlings from 1968 to 1983 are now exceptionally prized by connoisseurs, with official bottlings only emerging in the 1990s. Distilled in November 1981, this particular whisky matured for 26 years in cask #1424 before being bottled by the renowned independent bottler Duncan Taylor in November 2007. Established in Glasgow in 1938, Duncan Taylor has built a reputation as one of Scotland's premier independent bottlers. This bottle is part of the Rare Auld range, showcasing great single casks of Brora. With only 625 bottles produced, this Brora 1981 captures the quintessential smoky and fruity character of late-era Brora, making it a cherished vintage for whisky enthusiasts. At a robust 54.5% ABV and housed in a 700 ml bottle, this whisky promises a memorable experience with its fantastic nose and delightful waxiness.
