The Brora 9th Release Diageo Special Releases 2010 is a distinguished 30-year-old whisky with an ABV of 54.3% and a volume of 700ml. Limited to just 3,000 bottles, this exquisite whisky is part of Diageo's highly acclaimed Special Releases series. The Brora distillery, originally known as Clynelish, was built in 1819 and renamed Brora in 1967. Despite its closure in 1983, the distillery was re-opened by DCL in 1968. The whisky produced during this period is immensely sought after, with the first official bottling under the Brora name released in 1995 as part of the Rare Malts Selection. This 9th Release embodies the characteristic coastal Highland style, showcasing a lightly peated and waxy profile. On the nose, it delivers a delicate marine fragrance with notes of seaweed, almonds, butter, and light vanilla, complemented by hints of patchouli and dried flowers. Adding water reveals more farmy and grassy elements. The palate is long, salty, sooty, and smoky, with a paraffiny texture and hints of green olives and anchovies in the aftertaste. The addition of water enhances the "Broraness," introducing more fruity notes alongside petrol, oily undertones, and smoked salmon. Exceptionally well-balanced, this whisky is lauded for its complexity and depth, indicative of its age. Enthusiasts and collectors consider it a must-try due to its high quality and intricate profile.
