Formerly the original Clynelish distillery, Brora in the Scottish Highlands is one of the most fascinating cult whisky distilleries in the world. Like its sister distillery Port Ellen, after Brora's closure in 1983 a string of superb independent and official bottlings ensured that the distillery's distinctive single malt was discovered and subsequently treasured by a small, but ever-growing crowd of truly devout followers. Brora's reputation continued to grow over the subsequent decades as stocks dwindled, and eventually owners Diageo relented, restoring the distillery to full operational status in 2021.
