Taste note
-
Colour:
Gold

Nose:
On the nose you will get beautiful soft floral notes and dry sherry with bitter citrus. Hints of chocolate, raisins, licorice and wood spices.
-
Palate:
Rich and exuberant, the full bodied spice of Oloroso and the bright summer breeze of Royal Brackla elegantly combine as a smooth and inviting dram. Ripe peaches, black cherries, chocolate covered almonds and muscovado sugar.
-
Finish:
Medium fisbish with bitter and light peppery notes. Hints of almonds and chocolate and in the end raisins.

Conclusion:
Royal Brackla was the very first Scottish distillery to receive 'royal' status when, in 1833, it was bestowed upon them by King William IV. Most of the distillery's production goes into Dewar's blends, but as with other Dewar's distilleries a single malt range has been launched as part of the Last Great Malts. For the Royal Brackla Oloroso casks have been used for a luxurious, regal feel, with beautiful packaging to match.
