This 16 year old release from the Royal Brackla Distillery was finished in premium first-fill sherry casks, enriching it with notes of muscovado sweetness and dates, alongside opulent walnuts. Spicy Oloroso character.
A royal flush of flavour: vanilla, soft caramel, ripe apricots; replete with sherry tones.
Nose : a lot fruitier than the 12. Really very nice. Apricots, figs, toffee, something akin to an over-ripe banana (which is nice!), slightly waxy and yes, dried fruits. Distant note of green apples.
Mouth : strong sherry notes showing, and again the flavours from the nose, but it’s really delightful. Touches of old wood, pencils, cardboard, leather and tobacco are in the distance, but the sultanas come to the fore.
