1977 Brora 37 Year Old (Special Release 2015) Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The oldest Brora bottling in the Special Release series to date. Matured in refill American oak hogsheads with 2,976 individually numbered bottles on offer.

Tasting note: Pale straw gold / waterlike edges. The peat plays second fiddle in a superb fruity, floral bouquet that's classic Brora: Pear / peach and vanilla feature; aeration adds white pepper, big beeswax, hints of shortbread and bounty bar. The peat is more salient on the palate; white pepper, ripe apple and pear emphasised at the finish. Fresh and more peaty in the fade. Impeccable as usual from this distillery, but one senses the oak is finally closing in. 50.4% Alc./Vol.
