Royal Brackla 18 y.o.
Special features: The 18-year-old Royal Brackla presents itself in an elegant design and is characterized by maturation in three different American oak casks (First Fill, Refill, and Rechar), followed by a finishing in Palo Cortado sherry casks.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: An unusual scent of medicinal rubber and cigar boxes, evolving into aromas of ground almond, macarons, and Scottish sweetness.
Palate: Sweet and full-bodied, with notes of cloves, pink pepper sauce, Scottish pudding, and dried cranberries. A hint of rum-raisin ice cream rounds off the tasting experience.
Finish: After the initial sweetness of Demerara sugar, the whisky develops into a pleasantly tart note, reminiscent of a rhubarb and gooseberry pie with spices.
Distillery/Bottler: The Royal Brackla Distillery was founded in 1812 by Captain William Fraser on the grounds of the Cawdor Estate. In 1833, it became the first Scottish distillery to receive a royal warrant from King William IV, earning it the nickname "The King's Own Whisky." Today, the distillery is operated by John Dewar & Sons, a subsidiary of Bacardi.
