Description
A Royal Brackla single malt, selected and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail from 1970 and bottled at 40%. Royal Brackla, built in 1812 by Captain William Fraser in the Highlands on the estate of Cawdor Castle, is the first Royal distillery in Scotch. It is one of only three distilleries to carry the Royal name in Scotch.
Double distilled in tall copper pot stills with upward angled lyne arms, giving the refined, lightly spiced make at its heart. A refill American oak cask held it, keeping the fruity character to the fore. Carrying no age, it leans on honeyed fruit and a soft oak spice. Years in oak round the spirit, the fruit and spice deepening with age. The house style leans on sherry wood, building a fruity, dried fruit character. Tall copper stills and a long fermentation give an elegant, fragrant spirit. The distillery lies near Nairn, at the edge of the Highlands above Inverness.
At 40% it is soft, honeyed and fragrant. The refill oak lending honey and vanilla, with orchard fruit and a gentle spice. The mouthfeel is round, the fruit carried on a honeyed body. The finish is deep, spiced and rounded. This is a polished, fruity Highland whisky.
