Royal Brackla is a Highland Scotch whisky distillery founded on the Cawdor Estate in 1812. It is owned through John Dewar & Sons by Bacardi.
A syrupy, sticky whisky dominated by dark red fruits, caramel and overpowering sherry influence, requiring a particular mood to appreciate.
Quite a stunner with a decadent mouthfeel, above average complexity and a lovely combination of fruit and funk.
A delicious single malt with buttery notes, zesty fruitiness, fresh apples and a pleasant Orval-like funkiness.
