Brora, 1982 Gordon & MacPhail
RRP £650
Brora closed its doors in 1983 and was mothballed. However, it is soon to be reopened and the distillery brought back to life by Diageo. Back in 2014, a 40-year-old Brora was the most expensive whisky Diageo has sold, at £7,000. This expression by an independent bottler is not quite as pricey but is still impressive. It is oily, with quite a bit of smoke; orchard fruits mix with sweet tablet and toffee, and a savoury flavour akin to chicken skin rubbed with sage rounds it out.
