Brora 1972 22 years old Rare Malts Selection - b. 1995 - 700ml

Brora 1972/1995 22-Year-Old *** 60.02% *** Rare Malts Selection Damage to box, see pictures. A legendary release from the iconic closed Brora Distillery, this Brora 1972 Rare Malts Selection is one of the defining bottlings from the golden era of collectible Scotch whisky. Distilled in 1972 and bottled in 1995 after 22 years of maturation, it forms part of the highly acclaimed Rare Malts Selection series — a collection created to preserve and celebrate exceptional whiskies from lost and silent distilleries across Scotland. Matured in a Sherry Butt and bottled at an imposing natural cask strength of 60.02% ABV, this release showcases the raw intensity and complexity for which Brora became world-famous among connoisseurs. Whiskies from the early 1970s are especially revered, representing a fascinating period in Brora’s history when the distillery produced deeply characterful spirits with remarkable depth and structure. Beyond its importance as a whisky, this bottling has become an iconic collector’s piece. The minimalist and instantly recognizable Rare Malts packaging, combined with the rarity of mature Brora stock, makes it not only an extraordinary spirit but also a striking centerpiece for any serious whisky collection or interior. Today, Rare Malts Brora releases from the 1970s are considered among the most collectible official bottlings ever produced by Diageo, with demand continuing to grow as stocks from the silent distillery become increasingly scarce.

Revered for its powerful, complex, and subtly smoky style, Brora whiskies from the late 1960s and 1970s achieved near-mythical status among collectors and enthusiasts. Official Rare Malts releases played a major role in cementing Brora’s cult reputation long before the distillery’s celebrated reopening decades later. Shipping insurance included in the shipping fee
