Brora, Triptych – Elusive Legacy

Brora Triptych marks the return of one of Scotland’s most storied ghost distilleries. Created ahead of Brora’s reopening after nearly four decades, the collection features three remarkable single malts drawn from some of the distillery’s final pre-closure casks. Elusive Legacy (48 years old) captures Brora’s rare earthy style, Age of Peat (43 years old) reflects its fleeting heavily peated era, and Timeless Original (38 years old) showcases its signature waxy character. Limited to just 300 sets, each presented in hand-carved ash with crystal decanters, Brora Triptych celebrates the distillery’s past while heralding its revival.
Nose
Oak spice, peach tarte Tatin
Palate
Rich malt, umami, menthol, tobacco
Finish
Black Pepper, dry coal smoke
Wood spice and pastry-like sweetness combine on the nose before the palate shifts into deeper malt and tobacco. There’s good structure throughout, finishing with pepper and a dry coal-tinged edge.
