Bought the DL 1976 57.50% Bottling. The accompanying certficate says Bottle nr 1! Could it be? (whereas the bottle itself just states the useless ’1 of 109 bottles remark)

Thanks, Ruben. Your review of the OR seems to be more favourable than the review of the Platinum on Whiskyfun

I haven’t tried the other version but I’ve heard it’s just as good.

Does anyone know what the difference is between this version and its 1976 sister bottling at 57.50% (apart from the obvious %)?

[...] you may know, one my favourite drams so far is a 30yo Brora 1976 by Douglas Laing. It goes without saying that I’m on the lookout for similar bottles. This is one of them, [...]

Will do, thanks!

I know it’s a lot to spend based on someone else’s opinion, but… you were right about the Mannochmore

And, like yourself, I’m nuts about the Brora profile.

Cheers,

Ah ok, nice catch! Let me know what you think of it.

Ah, no, I managed to get the 55.1% one shown here, I was in the shop today and they had one, and after double checking all the details I snapped it up…. (think it was their only one, but not sure).

Was delighted to find it as it’s my Xmas treat

Cheers

That’s a good price, but it’s a sister cask at 57.5% and they don’t ship outside of the UK… Thanks though.

Too expensive for me (I am only crazy to put silly price on old single cask of glendronach. But it’s still less expensive hopefully)

No, that was a Clynelish 1983 in the same series. I don’t have a bottle of this Brora… yet.

Is this the bottle you were planning to open over here a couple of months ago? Damn

Thank you for your notes.
I want a bottle of that Brora.
