- Description
- Royal Brackla's 13-year-old from Càrn Mòr Strictly Limited series matured in a combination of first-fill and refill bourbon casks, balancing fresh oak influence with mellowing maturity. The Highland character emerges clearly—spiced orchard fruit and gentle smoke—with vanilla and caramel notes from the bourbon wood adding roundness without drowning the spirit's identity. Bottled at natural strength from a limited cask, this expression captures Brackla's character at an optimal drinking window. Suited to those exploring quality Highland single casks beyond the major distillery releases.
