Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: The Alistair Walker Whisky Company 70cl / 57.8%
For a distillery with a 4 million litre capacity, indie bottlings of Royal Brackla are lamentably rare. That's hardly surprising given that Brackla's day job is supplying top notch Highland single malt whisky for owner Dewar's blends, but it's frustrating for curious single malt fans.
We're delighted, therefore, to have got our hands on a few bottles of this 14-year-old Royal Brackla 2006, bottled at a chunky 57.8% by Alistair Walker Whisky Co's Infrequent Flyers in early 2021.
What's particularly intriguing about this Royal Brackla is that it's been finished in a Chinquapin Oak cask, a variety of American white oak said to give more toffee, fruitiness and tannin to any whisky it encounters.

Yes, a lovely expression from Ardnmurchan. As young as it is (5yrs old I believe), it tastes twice its maturity!
Very well made, delicious & beautifully complex smells & flavours to savour.
Having been fortunate enough to visit Scotland’s little gem distillery twice in the past ( amongst several others) it soon became my favourite dram. This like all its predecessors is a pleasure to savour and a real treat . The only problem is the self discipline required to make the bottle last long enough and show the respect and gratitude to its makers in producing this and in my humble opinion all others from Scotland’s little gem.
