Royal Brackla was the very first Scottish distillery to receive ‘royal’ status when, in 1833, it was bestowed upon them by King William IV. Most of the distillery’s production goes into Dewar’s blends, but as with other Dewar’s distilleries a single malt range has been launched as part of the Last Great Malts. For the Royal Brackla Oloroso casks have been used for a luxurious, regal feel, with beautiful packaging to match.
