- Description
- Duncan Taylor's non-chillfiltered 1999 Royal Brackla, bottled in 2011 at 12 years old without caramel colouring, presents Highland character shaped by independent bottling practices. The absence of chill-filtering and artificial colouring allows the full texture and authentic colour of the spirit to shine through, revealing the distillery's natural cereal and wood notes. A traditional approach to bottling that emphasises the whisky itself over cosmetic appeal. Suited to collectors and those interested in comparing independent bottling philosophy with mainstream releases.
