Nutty with furniture wax, grilled ham and salted meat, covered in burnt sugar and walnut peel. A walk through a pine forest. No fruity notes, instead a hint of a light perfume. Then rye bread sprinkled with nutmeg. Pretty complex and intriguing.

This distillery was founded in 1812 by Captain William Fraser and one of only three that are allowed to use the affix “Royal” in their name (the other two being Royal Lochnagar (1845) and Glenury Royal (1825-1985). The Royal Warrant was first issued by King William Iv in 1835 and later renewed by Queen Victoria. Technically each new monarch has to grant such a warrant again, which has not happened. So, in effect, the distillery currently has no Royal Warrant. Maybe King Charles III will amend this. Nevertheless the label still sports the full name. Brackla originally was part of the Dewar’s portfolio, with Aberfeldy, MacDuff, Craigellachie and Aultmore as sister distilleries. The fivesome was acquired by Bacardi in 1998.
