Tasting Notes

Nose Rich notes of toffee apples, plum compote, and dark chocolate, with hints of leather, vanilla pod, and baking spice. Palate Full-bodied and smooth, delivering layers of medjool dates, spiced orange peel, and hazelnut praline, with a backdrop of oak spice and molasses. Finish Lingering and elegant, with waves of dried fruit, cocoa powder, and a touch of clove and cinnamon warmth.

The Distillery

Royal Brackla
Royal Brackla Distillery, founded in 1812 by William Fraser in the grounds of Brackla House near Nairn, holds a prestigious place in Scotland’s whisky history. Its still house, overlooking a picturesque line of three ponds, creates a stunning reflection on calm days. Awarded the Royal Warrant by King William IV in 1835, it is one of only three distilleries to bear the "Royal" title. Believed to be a component in Andrew Usher’s first legally blended Scotch in 1860, the distillery’s releases include the Royal Brackla 12, 16, and 21 Year Olds, celebrated for their elegance and heritage.
