Brora

In the Scottish Highlands, the Whisky Tastes Like the Sea — How to Visit

"A resurrected distillery known for its whisky with ocean spray notes, reopened in 2021 with refurbished antique copper pots." - Aaron Hicklin

"Whiskey aficionados will want to visit Brora, a ca.-1819 “ghost distillery” brought back to life. A victim of Scotland’s 1983 whiskey market crash, it sat closed for nearly four decades on the northeast coast of Sutherland, and its rare, smoky single malts have recently seen skyrocketing prices at auction—a 40-year-old bottle was sold for a record £54,450 ($74,415) at a Sotheby’s in 2019. Following a three-year restoration, the distillery reopened this year."
