Discover Brora
For decades Brora has been viewed as one of the lost icons of the whisky world. Founded by the Marquess of Stafford (later the Duke of Sutherland) in 1819, Brora grew to become a cult legend celebrated by collectors and connoisseurs the world over. In 1983, the distillery gates closed, and the memories of Brora were kept alive through whispered tales of its skilled craftspeople, passed down through generations.
The distillery sat alone, suspended in time, until the 19th of May 2021. Restored to its former glory following three years of meticulous brick-by-brick restoration, Brora could once again welcome visitors from far and wide, 202 years after its first opening.
The restored distillery now safeguards a sustainable future for Brora, with the installation of a biomass boiler powered by sustainably sourced wood chips from Northern Scotland.
“Every effort has been taken to replicate the conditions, equipment and processes from Brora to recreate the spirit for which the distillery is famous."
