Royal Brackla 21 Year Old Sherry Cask Whisky was matured in Oloroso, Palo Cortado, and PX sherry casks, and then the liquor was taken out and blended to a perfect and harmonious state before being bottled and put on the market. The precious Palo Cortado barrels are used, and the scarcity is obvious. At the same time, Oloroso and PX barrels are used in the aging process, which makes the flavor more complex and layered. The longer aging time also increases its collection value.
[Royal Brackla]
Since 1812, the Royal Brackla distillery has been located in the Cawdor Estate near Naim in the Scottish Highlands. The distillery was founded by Captain William Fraser, who was stationed in India. After retiring, he inherited his father's 300-acre Brackla farm and converted it into a whisky distillery. His whisky was almost always enjoyed by the upper-class elites in London at the time, and was therefore favored by the then Citizen King William IV.
William IV fell in love with the delicate flavor of Brackla whisky, and unprecedentedly issued a Royal Warrant to a Scottish whisky distillery on August 15, 1833. From then on, the word Royal could be added to the name of Brackla Distillery, becoming the current Royal Brackla. In the entire history of Scottish whisky, only three single malt whisky distilleries have enjoyed this honor, and Royal Brackla is the first. In 1837, shortly after Queen Victoria ascended the throne, she renewed the order to confirm it as one of the most famous whiskies in the UK. Royal Brackla is also known as "The King’s Own Whisky".
Like many whisky distilleries in Scotland, the fate of Royal Brackla Distillery is also turbulent. Since the end of the 19th century, this distillery with a royal name has been constantly resold. Even though the distillery has expanded in the process - from 2 stills to 4, which means that the distillery's production has increased, it still cannot stop its tragic fate of having to close in 1985. Fortunately, six years later, the distillery was reopened and later acquired by Dewar's Whisky.
