Royal Brackla 2011 Little Brown Dog Sherry Cask 13 Year Single Speyside Malt Whisky 57.4%

The independent bottler Little Brown Dog acquires casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them under their own brand—all bottles are adorned with the little brown dog that characterizes the company. Here, they have sourced a cask from the Royal Brackla distillery—only 253 bottles aged in a used sherry hogshead.

Little Brown Dog writes about this product:
The label on this whisky is yellow because Andrew once bought a wood chipper that was that color—a perfectly obvious reason. The color of the whisky resembles maple syrup, and the nose presents notes of a pencil case, sweet aged balsamic, and cherry lips, creating an inviting aroma. On the palate, you experience a delightful combination of Jamaican ginger loaf, Medjool dates, and pipe tobacco, providing a complex and satisfying flavor experience. The finish reveals notes of cardamom cookies and glace ginger, rounding out the overall taste.

We chose this cask because it is a fruity spice bomb with loads of character. It has an old-school sherry influence with balanced tannins and great integration. As always, the whisky is with natural color, cask strength, and never chill-filtered, ensuring an authentic tasting experience.
