Description

A classic of the Rare Malts series and a landmark bottling in Brora's history, this 1975 vintage was distilled just eight years before the distillery's closure. It remains one of the earliest official releases of Brora ever made available, offering a window into the distillery's style before its long hiatus. Rich in coastal character and dry peat smoke, the profile here is more elegant than the funkier early 1970s vintages.
