  • Nose: Toffee and Granny Smith apples to start, with leather note on the side. Vanilla cookies develop, balanced by the sharp fruit. The cookies become milkshakes and the apples add a layer of floral blossom. Musky orange zest notes – fresh and dried – build.

     

    Palate: Richly textured, with caramel and toffee notes backed up my maltiness and cream. Stewed sweet and sour apples are joined by black pepper and cinnamon heat, and some baking spice. Damp oak notes build in the glass.

     

    Finish: Apple skin and fruit, boiled sweets and orange peel. Mineral notes linger.

  • We are big Royal Brackla fans, and we enjoy the official 12-year-old distillery bottling. But it’s produced at an ABV of 46%. We wanted a full fat cask strength version. And we knew that if we filled a high quality first fill Oloroso sherry quarter cask, we would add more Oloroso sherry flavours.

    These small, freshly sherry seasoned 125 litre quarter casks sourced from our preferred cooperage impart more sherried goodness due to an increased surface contact area between wood and spirit than regular larger hogsheads used by large distilleries.  

    Within just one month of being re-racked this whisky had already started to darken and pick up classic nutty, fig and sultana flavours as you’d expect from Oloroso seasoned wood. We can’t wait to see how this develops over the coming months where it will be sampled regularly. We expect it to be bottled in August / September 2025 though possibly sooner.
