Tasting Notes

Nose

Orange peel, cocoa, toffee, figs, fruitcake, light tobacco, nutmeg-cinnamon spice — the sherry finish adding warmth

Palate

Ripe peaches, black cherries, milk chocolate, toasted almonds, muscovado sugar, dry sherry influence with black pepper spice — approachable and rounded

Finish

Medium length — charcoal and gentle smokiness, fresh lemon note, the Royal heritage reflected in the refinement

Expert Review

7/10

The first distillery in Scotland to receive a Royal Warrant — granted by King William IV in 1835 after he ordered Brackla whisky shipped to St James's Palace. Founded 1812 by Captain William Fraser on the Cawdor Castle estate near Nairn. Known as 'The King's Own Whisky.' Every monarch since has renewed the warrant. Finished in Oloroso sherry casks, 46%, non-chill filtered.
