In 1896 they sold it to the Glasgow blender James Ainslie and his business partner John Risk.

[3] In 1912 The Distillers Company join John Risk and take full control of the distillery in 1925.

[4] Between May 1969 and July 1973, Brora produced a heavily peated whisky to supply for blending; this was done to cover a shortage of Islay whisky caused by a drought in that region.

Most of the whisky produced as Brora after 1973 is in the lightly peated Highland style.

[6] On 9 October 2017 Diageo announced that it will re-open the Brora distillery with production resuming in 2020.
