Royal Brackla Berry Bros & Rudd - Christmas Edition Single Cask #03086 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2007 Vintage
Out of stock
The Brackla distillery was built in 1812 by Captain William Fraser of Brackla House on the Cawdor Castle estate in Inverness-shire. Such was the quality of its spirits; the distillery was the first to be granted a Royal Warrant by King William IV in 1833 as the chosen Whisky of his court. The Warrant was renewed by Queen Victoria in 1838.
This delicious Brackla was matured for around 12 years in refill hogsheads before being given an additional 2 years in a fresh ex-Pedro Ximenez butt. The nose is a wonderfully spiced mix of fresh and dried fruits; apples, pears and melon from the distillate and sticky figs and dates from the wood. The palate leans more towards the thick sherry wood influence with prunes, clove rock, toffee and honeycomb all swirling round. A perfect seasonal dram to get your claws into after a busy Christmas Day.
