Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: The Alistair Walker Whisky Company 70cl / 57.2%
A 15-year-old Royal Brackla 2006 Madeira finish, bottled from a single cask without colouring or chill filtration in 2022 by Alistair Walker Whisky Co. for their Infrequent Flyers series.
This 2006 Royal Brackla 15-year-old ended its maturation in Cask 1802, a hogshead that formerly held the Portuguese fortified wine Madeira, which is not dissimilar to sherry. Cask 1802 yielded 313 bottles at a very promising cask strength of 57.2%.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Rich amber.
Nose: Fresh, floral and fragrant – a sauvignon blanc-esque nose. Light vanilla notes in the background. Battenburg cake.
Palate: Honeycomb, Demerara sugar and Madagascan vanilla. Butterscotch and toffee. Shortbread. Poached fruits and home baking - Pecan apple crumble. A huge hit of coffee crème Revels - which can only be a good thing, right?
