Captain William Fraser founded the distillery in 1812 and grew his own barley for whisky production. In 1833, his whisky became the first Scotch to receive a Royal Warrant from King William IV. This royal distinction explains the addition of Royal to the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMurray McDavid is responsible for the cask selection and this independent bottling. Wine merchants Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin founded the company in 1994 together with Gordon Wright of Springbank Distillery. Their wine expertise informed the selection of unusual maturation casks, particularly high-quality wine casks. Today, Murray McDavid is based at Coleburn Distillery in Speyside, where Dean leads the Whisky Creations Team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e15 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eScotland\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot smoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGift packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSingle Malt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHighlands\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e0.7 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e57.2%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDistillation year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2011\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMarket operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMurray McDavid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottling year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBenchmark\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRoyal Brackla\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRoyal Brackla\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask number\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2130030, 2201630 and 2201631\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottle count\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e928\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMaturation\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEuropean oak sherry butt; finish in PX sherry barriques from Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Royal Brackla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57660265005429,"sku":"124055","price":91.65,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8734\/8871\/files\/efb06efe16b79a93bf4fba1a9356c912.webp?v=1792192189","url":"https:\/\/www.bringts.ch\/en\/products\/royal-brackla-2011-2026-15-y-o-px-sherry-casks-murray-mcdavid","provider":"bringts.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
