The Eras of Brora
Bookings by request only. Please use the form below.
The past, present and future eras of Brora are explored in this engrossing experience. Guests will have the opportunity to hear how Brora’s craftspeople of today go about their careful work to lay down casks for maturation. Journeying through tastings of new spirit and samples distilled almost half a century before from a number of distilleries across Scotland, the visit culminates with a private tasting of fleeting moments of Brora’s storied past in the Brora Triptych.
These three distinct styles from Brora’s storied heritage are brought to life within the walls of those buildings, suspended in time, that have protected its spirit. The Brora Triptych tasting is an ode to the past and a promise of Brora’s commitment to continue this legacy for generations to come. This experience includes: a relaxed lunch of contemporary Scottish cuisine using locally sourced ingredients; tastings of Brora Triptych and additional limited edition Brora expression, a guided new make spirit nosing as well as a tasting moment of Brora 3-Year-Old from one of the very first casks filled at the reawakened distillery.Exclusive Bottling available only from Brora’s restored home subject to availability.
Rescheduling and refunds can be accommodated up to 2 weeks before the tour. No refunds or reschedules permitted after that time.
