The Royal Brackla Distillery is located on the Cawdor Estate in the Scottish Highlands, with history dating back to 1812. It holds a significant place in whisky history as the first distillery in the world to receive a Royal Warrant. In 1833, King William IV granted the warrant, giving the distillery the right to use the name 'Royal', hence its reputation as 'The King's Own Whisky'.
Royal Brackla's production process is meticulous, emphasizing long fermentation (up to 70 hours) and slow distillation. This ensures maximum contact with the copper stills, resulting in delicate floral notes and fresh fruitiness. Since the brand refresh in 2020, Stephanie Macleod has redefined the core range, all bottled at 46% without chill-filtration and featuring exceptional sherry cask finishes. This 12-year-old expression perfectly demonstrates the brand's balanced, elegant, and deep Highland style.
