Finish: A mellow and long finish where that rock sugar and white wine lingers alongside some dusky oak.  ROYAL BRACKLA BACKGROUND James Augustus Grant, who in 1860 went on a journey to discover the source of the Nile, wrote to his sister that after dinner the adventurers felt: ‘as comfortable as if we had our legs under your table drinking Brackla.’ We think James’ words from Egypt are still true of Royal Brackla whisky today; it is a wonderfully tranquil and smooth single malt. A lot of Royal Brackla finds its way into blended whisky, which is why we rescued this cask for you to lean back in your chair and enjoy this delightfully mellow scotch.
