Brora 酒厂身世坎坷，1819 年创立后不断易主，其间曾扩张成两个酒厂的规模、也曾数度停产，如今已正式关厂。Brora 以其均衡的泥煤与海洋风情著称，油脂包覆感与蜡质的特殊口感更是其独树一格的特色。此款1972 年蒸馏的40 年威士忌不仅是Brora 酒厂有史以来最高年份的作品，更以原桶强度装瓶，全球仅160 组。酒瓶设计豪华大气，更找来女皇御用酒柜制造商N.R.J. Stevenson Ltd. 操刀，手工打造木盒，珍贵难得。Serge 给了他98 分的超高分评价，并形容：难以言喻的复杂与力道占领一切感官和知觉，让人几乎无法呼吸，一款充满无限张力的威士忌，无庸置疑的惊叹！无可置信的完美！

the nose of this 40 is utterly brilliant and its edges have been wonderfully polished with all sorts of precious waxes and oils. What strikes me as well is that we’re getting very close to the best old Ardbegs from the same era. Amazing. A tidal wave, the arrival’s incredibly smooth for Brora, and then it never stops growing, getting bigger, hitting harder, invading your palate and leaving you totally breathless. It’s a symphony, or a long suite by the Duke Ellington Orchestra. You don’t control anything, the whisky controls you. Waxy and smoky citrus. Utter perfection. An endless list of flavours, all coated with the most refined smoke in Scotland.
