The Royal Brackla Distillery was built in 1812 in the shadows of Cawdor Castle in the Grampian Highlands of Scotland. The whiskys that Brackla has become famous for today were selected by King William IV as the whisky for the Royal Court which turned Brackla into the benchmark of quality worldwide.
Initially restrained, but slowly opening up into a citrus fruit punch, with limes, lemon zest and a hint of vanilla. Balanced by some lighter white floral notes. The palate is ultimately rewarded with strong, crisp citrus zing promised by the nose.
