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.

Brora Distillery

Brora Distillery stands in the coastal village of Brora in Sutherland, directly beside Clynelish. It was founded in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford under the name Clynelish. Ainslie & Heilbron and John Risk acquired the business in 1896; through its connection with John Walker & Sons, it joined the Distillers Company Limited in 1925. A larger modern Clynelish distillery was built beside the original site in 1967. The old plant closed briefly, but resumed production in 1969 under the name Brora.

Brora was given a new role producing heavily peated malt for blends, partly because of shortages of Islay whisky and the reconstruction of Caol Ila. Peat levels were gradually reduced from 1973 and the distillery produced several styles before closing in 1983. Its remaining casks later gave Brora cult status. Diageo began a meticulous restoration in 2018. The stillhouse was rebuilt stone by stone and the two original copper stills were refurbished. Spirit flowed again in May 2021 after 38 years. With capacity of around 800,000 litres a year, Brora deliberately remains one of Diageo’s smallest distilleries.
