Probably the cheapest dram of Brora I have ever seen at only 30 SGD for a 10ml dram! Not a bad Brora, especially given the cheap price, but definitely the most underwhelming dram from this distillery that I’ve tried

This is simply one of those whiskies where you have to take your time to fully comprehend and unpack the complexity and what makes it so sought-after and highly praised. Really makes me wonder how good the Broras from the early 70s with a higher level of peat must be to be judged as even better than bottles like these from the lates 70s. This is a whisky that will please any whisky drinker and will impress most, if not all.

One of those whiskies where the nose barely has any smoke but upon drinking it will hit you like a truck - excellent Brora
