Royal Brackla 12 Year Old is a Highland single malt finished in Oloroso sherry casks, which gives it a rich, spice-driven character. It is bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtration. The sherry finish brings dark chocolate, stewed fruit and nuttiness to what is otherwise a softer, more approachable Highland spirit.
