- Description
- Royal Brackla's 18-year maturation in ex-bourbon cask followed by a Palo Cortado sherry finish creates a Highland malt of remarkable depth and balance. Dried fruits, toasted nuts, and spice dominate the palate, while the sherry cask adds richness without overwhelming the spirit's underlying honey and heather notes. Silky texture with a long, warming finish. Ideal for contemplative sipping or as a refined dinner companion.
