Mossburn 9 Year Old Royal Brackla Distillery Vintage Casks No. 14

The Mossburn Vintage Casks range are a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies each issuing from a strictly limited and select batch of casks. Each numbered release will only ever yield a finite number of bottles. While this means that we can never replicate the particular character of this Single Malt, it also offers an opportunity to sample what we believe to be an exceptional example of the whisky made by one of Scotland’s most distinguished distilleries.

One of Scotland’s older distilleries, Brackla was founded in 1817. The current distillery production is modelled around a medium fermentation, with the wash and low wines being forced through upwards-angled lyne arms giving abundant reflux and plentiful esters. This spirit was aged in smaller bourbon barrels for nine years mellowing the fresh fruity original spirit to give dried fruit and oaky spice on the nose with the palate adding the distillery’s trademark vanilla baked apple and caramel malt.
