Royal Brackla Cooper's Choice - Single Port Cask #9599 Whisky 8 Year Old · 2014 Vintage

Colour

Garnet-tinged amber with a warm ruby-copper glow.

Nose

Aromas of ruby port lend a rich, fruit-forward bouquet: red cherries, raspberries and plum spill over honeyed vanilla, toasted oak and a touch of almond. Subtle cocoa and spice emerge as the malted barley sweetness coats the fragrant wood.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied on the palate, this 8-year-old delivers rich dark cherry and plum with a touch of dried fruit. Creamy vanilla and almond mingle with cocoa and spice from American oak, while the ruby port influence adds syrupy red fruit and a gentle sweetness that remains balanced by the oak.

Finish

Exquisite, lingering finish of ruby port sweetness and red fruit. Cherry and raspberry mingle with hints of fig and cocoa, carried by warm oak and spice. Velvet tannins cradle the sweetness, fading to a final note of vanilla and a whisper of smoke.
