I would gladly buy a bottle for my bar...if I could find them! Get the Royal Brackla into northwest Florida. We have a Total Wine shop in Pensacola...get some bottles in there!

This brand needs more marketing

The color is not natural, this is the conversation i had with the brand: Hi! I have bought a bottle of Royal Brackla 12 years (46%) where it says it is natural colour. But when I scan the QR code it says: Colour adjustment with E150a (caramel). What is correct, is there E150a in the bottle? Dear Jonas, Thank you for your recent inquiry. Yes, our Royal Brackla 12 years Old does contain a colour adjustment with E150a (caramel).

Non-Chill filtered is SUCH a big deal. It adds SO much to mouthfeel & swallow-taste. Also, it allows (if you wish) an ability to take water and hold (almost) full flavour. This is where the majority of blends collapse, as do MANY malts. Oddly, a good many malts benefit by having you slurp away the first 10% of the bottle, let it sit for a bit in disappointment, and try again a year later to stand in wonder at just how good that tipple really is. I love discovering a truly excellent malt-master and how they can bring their beer to a superb new make. Then the cask rules, but I want to discover a great malt-master within the great cask. They are the heart & soul. Then, it's the cut. A wide cut demands greater age or it's too hot or too diesel-ish. A high-cut can be dealt with by age. Diesel is, just diesel. A tiny bit can be aged away to 'meatiness', otherwise it's for blending to build body. I have a Royal Brackla, bottled by Hart Bros which I bought 20 years ago and have yet to open. One day...maybe, I'll get to taste it.

Also, I bought into a cask which ended up being a "sherry-bomb". I have to "blend" it away with Glenfiddich, or Johnny Walker red and a peat monster-type to make it somewhat palatable.
