About Brora Distillery

Brora Distillery

Brora is situated in the Highland region of Scotland, specifically on the east coast near the town of Brora, in the Sutherland area.
Brora was originally established in 1819 as the Clynelish Distillery, though the name was changed to Brora in 1968 to distinguish it from the nearby Clynelish distillery (which still operates today). Both distilleries were owned by The Distillers Company Limited (DCL), later part of Diageo.
The Brora distillery became renowned for producing a heavily peated whisky during the 1960s and 1970s. At the time, Brora's spirit was known for its distinctive combination of peat smoke and maritime influences, which was quite rare for a Highland whisky.
Brora was closed in 1983, which led to its whisky becoming increasingly rare and collectible. The distillery was effectively shut down as the demand for heavily peated whiskies decreased, and the focus shifted to lighter, less peated styles at the nearby Clynelish distillery.
