About this bottle

Introduced in 2022, this is one of three core whiskies in the Royal Brackla portfolio. Malt Master Stephanie Macleod finished each of the three expressions in a sherry cask from Bodegas Jose y Miguel Martin in Jerez, Spain. For this 18 Year, Palo Cortado sherry casks were used. Also notable is the new portfolio is bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration or added caramel coloring. Availability for the US begins in July 2022 in select markets including NY, DC, and Chicago.

Ruikt naar stro en citrusfruit. In de smaak wat scherp, met zwarte peper en citrusfruit. Zeer fris. Erg bijzonder.

향 달콤 약한 시트러스? 맛 떫은 포도? 피니쉬 약한 피니쉬 약한 고소함 여행지에서 뚜따하고 비행기타서 그런가 맛이 전체적으로 쨉 처럼 툭툭 치는느낌 달콤 부드러움 아쉽긴하지만 괜찮은 위스키인듯
