help Brora 30 Year Old FAQ
Where was Brora 30 Year Old distilled?
Brora 30 Year Old was distilled at Brora Distillery in Sutherland, Scotland. The distillery closed in 1983 and was later revived by Diageo, making older 30-year releases especially collectible.
Why is Brora 30 Year Old associated with smoke and waxy notes?
Brora produced peated Highland malt during parts of the 1970s, partly to help meet blending demand after Caol Ila was rebuilt. Many 30-year-old releases show coastal smoke, wax, citrus, and farmyard notes.
Is Brora the same distillery as Clynelish?
Brora and Clynelish are closely linked but distinct. The old Clynelish distillery was renamed Brora after a new Clynelish distillery opened nearby in 1968.
Why are old Brora bottles expensive?
Original stocks from before the 1983 closure were limited, and many official 30-year-old bottlings became collector items. Prices vary by vintage and release, but they often sell far above ordinary single malt pricing.
