Royal Brackla 11 Years Old The Octave

ABV: 55.2% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled on 3 June 2014 at the Royal Brackla Distillery and matured for 11 years. Like every release in the Octave Collection, it received a finishing period in a small octave cask. In this case, the octave had previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry, which created a delicate malt with notes of warm bread, sweet orange, spearmint, and praline. 

Bottled at natural cask strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. 

£62.00

Tax included.

Royal Brackla Distillery, founded in 1812 on the Cawdor Estate in the Highlands, is renowned as one of Scotland’s oldest licensed distilleries and the first to receive a Royal Warrant, earning it the title “The King’s Own Whisky.” It produces a refined, orchard-fruity single malt shaped by long fermentation, tall stills, and a maturation style that leans heavily on first-fill sherry casks, giving the whisky rich notes of honeyed apple, dried fruit, and warm spice. Set amid the quiet farmland between Nairn and Inverness, the distillery combines historic gravitas with a focus on elegant, sherry-led flavour, making Royal Brackla a distinctive outlier in the Highland region.
