Royal Brackla 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky

Known as “The King’s Own Whisky,” Royal Brackla 12 Year Old is a regal Highland single malt celebrated for its elegance, orchard‑fruit richness, and signature sherry‑cask finish. As one of Scotland’s few distilleries to hold a Royal Warrant, Royal Brackla delivers a whisky of exceptional refinement and heritage.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Fresh orchard fruit — pear, apple, and apricot — layered with vanilla cream, honeycomb, and soft oak spice.
• Palate: Smooth and expressive, offering notes of baked apple, golden raisin, malted biscuit, citrus zest, and gentle sherry sweetness. A subtle nuttiness and warming spice add depth.
• Texture: Silky and rounded with a refined Highland character.
• Finish: Long, clean, and lightly spiced with lingering fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak.

Craftsmanship & Provenance

Founded in 1812, Royal Brackla was the first Scotch whisky ever granted a Royal Warrant, earning its place among Scotland’s most distinguished distilleries.
The 12 Year Old expression is matured in American oak before receiving a finishing period in Oloroso sherry casks, enhancing richness while preserving the distillery’s bright, fruit‑forward style.
