Just came across this tidbit over at Masters of Malt (thanks to them for the heads up):

“In October 2017 Diageo said it was going to revive the closed Brora Distillery. Where we’re not quite sure, given that Clynelish overlaps on its original footprint. The build is due for completion in 2020 so we’ll soon see!”

Given the plethora of recent reports about shortages in single malt scotch production it makes sense that Diageo would see an opportunity here. The Brora facility would seem to conflict with the operation of Clynelish but I’m sure Diageo has a plan that makes sense and will be exciting.
