A truly special, once in a generation release to mark the momentous reopening of the mystical Brora distillery 36 years after it closed. This type of bottling is so rare and special, with only 300 sets released, it is a genuine piece of history and art from one of Scotland’s most fabled distilleries. A release of this kind will not be possible to replicate for another half century. Brora Triptych is a true collector's piece, and assembles a set of the three eras that epitomise Brora. A collection of three vintages never before released at once.
