Finish: Long, warming and refined, with lingering dried fruits, walnuts, soft spice, cocoa and a gentle sherried sweetness that slowly fades.

About the Distillery:

Founded in 1812 on the Cawdor Estate in the Highlands, Royal Brackla Distillery is one of Scotland’s oldest licensed distilleries and was the first to receive a royal warrant, earning the title “The King’s Own Whisky”. Today, Royal Brackla is known for its richly textured, fruity Highland spirit, produced using long fermentations and tall stills that encourage elegant, aromatic character. A strong emphasis on high-quality oak – particularly sherry and other fortified wine casks – brings layers of dried fruit, honeyed sweetness and gentle spice to the distillery’s single malts, making Royal Brackla a natural choice for those who enjoy opulent, dessert-like Highland whiskies.
