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

Vanilla, green apples, beeswax

Palate

Oak spice, ginger cake

Finish

Peat smoke

A refined mix of vanilla, apple and beeswax gives this one an understated charm. The palate is sweeter upfront before the spice pulls it back into balance. Smoke arrives late on the finish, growing slowly.
