Royal Brackla Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with a warm copper glow and a touch of mahogany, evoking sherry-influenced oak and aged richness.

Nose

Sherried warmth and refined fruit evoke dried figs, raisin and orange zest, folded with cocoa and toffee. Vanilla, almond, and toasted oak weave through subtle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—creating an elegant, mature nose. A whisper of smoke hints at its Highland depth, inviting a lingering, polished finish.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied on the palate, it coats with velvet warmth. Rich dried fruits—fig and raisin—sit alongside toffee, dark chocolate, and almond. Sherry-influenced spice emerges: nutmeg, clove, a hint of orange zest, and espresso. A refined oak backbone carries a long, lingering finish.

Finish

Warm, lingering finish coats the palate with toffee, dried fruit and sherry‑oak, entwined with cinnamon and nutmeg. Cocoa and leather emerge as vanilla sweetness fades, leaving polished oak tannins and a long, refined echo.
