ClydebuiltRoyal Brackla

A single malt Scotch whisky from Royal Brackla, bottled by Clydebuilt as a single cask release from a 2012 vintage. It was drawn at cask strength and matured in a bourbon cask hogshead, a style of cask often associated with vanilla, oak, and soft fruit-led character.

For a novice drinker, this style is likely to show the distillery character clearly, with no dilution and no mixing from other casks. The high strength can make it more intense, so a small splash of water may help open up the aromas and make it easier to explore.
