Brora 29 years 1972 - 2002 Platinum Selection

Douglas Laing & Co. proudly offer this fine example of the Distiller's art as a special selection from our oldest stocks of Whisky.

No water is added to reduce its strength, as the angel's share has already taken care of that. No caramel colouring is added, so that you can see its pure and natural colour.

We have chosen to bottle this Malt without chill-filtration in the traditional style which does not remove nose, proteins and important taste factors - again as we prefer the full, natural resonance of the original Malt Whisky to come through in all its elements. As you can see on the label of this bottle, it is one of a very restricted offering, which when consumed, is unrepeatable.

Tasting notes

Big, salty and almost maritime enough on the nose to be confused as an Islay. It is medium bodied, but on the palate it is round, tangy and syrupy, yet yielding to some salt. The finish is big, salty, tarry and phenolic, largely replicating olfactory expectations as a "baby" Islay.
