A bottle of Brora 1982 bottled in 1997 by Gordon & MacPhail as part of the Connoisseurs Choice series.

Brora distillery was built in 1819 by the Marquis of Stafford, it was originally known as Clynelish. It wasn't until the 'new' Clynelish distillery was built in 1968, and a 1975 law was passed banning two distilleries from having the same name, that the name was changed to Brora. The distillery produced a heavily-peated malt through the 1970s, until peating levels were dropped in the early 1980s. Brora was mothballed in 1983. In 2017, Diageo announced that Brora distillery is to be rebuilt in its original buildings, and would reopen in 2020.
