The final release from Brora’s 1980 casks celebrates the golden age of peated whisky. Individually stored for decades and reunited for this ultra-rare edition, the single malt was matured for 40 years in American oak, revealing a fragrant smokiness that lingers through a long, warming finish. Bottled for the Prima & Ultima Second Release, this is a rare bottle that represents a piece of the distillery’s storied history, and honors Brora’s enduring reputation for character and quality.

Nose

Mineral, sea spray, almond oil, smoke

Palate

Sweetness, peat smoke, burnt caramel, salt

Finish

Coriander seeds, brine, oak spice

Mineral notes and a dry sea breeze sit above almond oil and faint smoke. The palate is silky and lightly waxy with sweetness, gentle smoke and burnt caramel. Salt edges in at the end. The finish is long, warm and smoky.
