This Highland distillery in Brora, Sutherland, was founded in 1819. During the 1960's demand for production grew, so a second distillery was built next door in 1969; with Clynelish moving to the new one and the old one being adopted by a new malt, Brora. The Brora distillery closed in 1983, whilst production has continued at the newer Clynelish site. Characteristics: Seaweedy and spicy with mustard and oil.
