This bottling of a 14-year-old Royal Brackla single malt was produced by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in the Connoisseurs Choice series, here with the brown label that was standard between 1980 and 1988. The whisky was distilled in 1969.
Royal Brackla is a distillery in Cawdor, Inverness-shire, Scotland, which was founded in 1812 by William Fraser. In 1835, it was the first distillery to be granted permission by King William IV to bear the suffix Royal in its name (otherwise only Royal Lochnagar and Glenury Royal). After a chequered history, the distillery now belongs to the Bacardi group.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
