Brora Distillery

Brora Distillery is located in the Scottish Highlands, near the coastal town of Brora in Sutherland. Founded in 1819 by the Marquis of Stafford, the distillery was originally known as Clynelish. In 1968, a new Clynelish Distillery was built next to the original one, which was then renamed Brora. The distillery produced until 1983, after which it closed, but its whiskies from that period have achieved legendary status.

A specific feature of Brora whisky is the use of peated malt during certain periods of production, which resulted in a robust and smoky flavour profile, with notes of sea salt, leather and subtle fruitiness. This unique combination of flavours made Brora whisky highly sought after by whisky lovers, collectors and investors.

In 2021, Diageo reopened Brora Distillery after an extensive restoration. The reopening marks a new era for Brora, with the distillery building on its rich heritage and traditional production methods. Brora's revival brings one of the most respected names in Scotch back into production, to the delight of whisky connoisseurs worldwide.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) is a prestigious and exclusive whisky club, founded in 1983 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The SMWS is known for its unique approach to selecting and bottling single cask whiskies, available exclusively to members. It is one of the most respected names in the whisky world worldwide for the high quality and special character of their bottlings.

Instead of listing the name of the distillery on the label, the SMWS uses a unique numbering system for their bottlings. The first number refers to the distillery and the second number to the specific cask bottled. This system adds to the mystique and exclusivity of the bottlings.
