This is a classy journey. Begin with a barrel of 2008 from one of only 2 Royal Distilleries in Scotland, Royal Brackla in the Northern Highlands, close to Cawdor Castle made famous in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. 330 Bottles.
Both Royal & somewhat eccentric, as personified by company director Walter C. Newbigging. Clearly well connected as good old King Billy (William IV) gave them Royal status in 1838.
Marry this classy Highland dram with the tangy, spicy richness of Madeira Wine and mature in a hand-built custom oak cask. These use a combination of American first fill Bourbon & new French Limousin oak staves with a custom char. This Double Oak cask in combination with the spicy richness of Madeira creates a special flavor profile. What emerges is rich, creamy and a tad spicy
As befits Royalty, this really is Bodacious Elegance… Firkin Royalty… Single Cask Single Malt.
Tasting Notes:
Firkin Ten a rich creamy ‘Royal’ dram matched with the spicy richness of Madeira wine. Bright, lively with a pantry full of kitchen spice and creamy malt that will enliven and intrigue you.
