Tasting notes 🍏
Opens with the comforting aroma of freshly printed newspaper before easing into digestive biscuits, vanilla, and a splash of malt vinegar. Floral notes of daffodil mingle with crisp apple pie. With water, it gains elegance and a touch of sweetness, offering a dram that is easy-going yet quietly refined.

About Royal Brackla 👑
Founded in 1812 by Captain William Fraser, Brackla was the first Scotch distillery to earn a Royal Warrant back in 1835, so proud it became known as the “King’s Own Whisky.” Technically, each monarch should renew the honour, but the paperwork hasn’t always kept up (perhaps King Charles III will have his say). Once part of Dewar’s and now under Bacardi, Brackla keeps its regal name and continues to produce whiskies that mix history with Highland character. Saltire Rare Malt handpicks casks like this to bring that story to life in the glass.
