Brora Whisky distillery was
established in 1819 near the small
Sutherland town of the same name.
Originally the
distillery was known as the
Clynelish distillery before the new
Clynelish distillery was built close by
in 1968. The old distillery closed in
1969 but reopened again in 1975 under
the name Brora before finally closing
for good in 1983. When someone speaks of
Brora Whisky they are referring to
whisky produced/distilled between 1969
and 1983. There is a noticeable
difference between Brora malt and
Clynelish malt, Brora used a more
heavily peated malt which set its whisky
apart from the more lightly peated
Clynelish.
It is said that the Brora
distillery produced the most peaty malt
in the Highlands Whisky region. The
nickname for Brora Malt Whisky was "The
Lagavulin of the North".
