Brora 1970 Douglas Laing 32 Year Old

This is one of only two casks ever bottled from 1970 a year of particularly low production (apparently), it is particularly sought after as no other bottling of Brora exists (that carries the name 'Brora') from before 1970.  Doulgas Laing were fortunate enough to bottle two casks, this 32 year old and another two years later as a 34 year old.

Distilled in 1970 and bottled in 2002 as a 32 year old, only 297 bottles were released and bottled at cask strength.

Please note there is a little mark on the front label and some minor 'glue' residue on the front of the box, overall condition is excellent!
