The Brora 1982 Rare Malts Selection is an exquisite 20-year-old single malt whisky, distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2003 by Diageo. As part of the now-discontinued Rare Malts Selection, this release showcases some of Diageo's hidden treasures. The Brora distillery, previously known as Clynelish, is celebrated for its coastal Highland style, producing lightly peated whisky with a distinctive waxy character. This particular expression captures the essence of Brora's unique profile. On the nose, this whisky offers soft spices such as nutmeg, ginger, and white pepper, complemented by coconut, vanilla, and a hint of citrus, achieving an excellent balance. The palate is thick, robust, and intense, with a strong pepperiness and notes of citrus, banana, vanilla, nutmeg, and ginger. Adding water unveils luscious fruity and floral notes, including raspberries and blackberries. The long finish features a dry sweetness with touches of Demerara sugar, citrus, and vanilla, making for a powerful and complex whisky experience. This bottle hails from the Rare Malts Selection, highlighting whiskies from both operational and lost distilleries. Distilled at the Brora Distillery in 1982 and aged for 20 years, it was bottled at natural cask strength in April 2003. Notably, the Brora Distillery is set to reopen in the coming years, adding to the uniqueness and historical significance of this bottle. In 2004, this Brora whisky won the Best Cask Strength Whisky Award, further cementing its status among connoisseurs.
