Two bottlers & two very different handling in terms of casks.

1)Whisky Baron: Royal Brackla 2007 15YO 54.3% Hogshead #305007

Single cask, cask strength 

Nose: Light floral notes, like sweet peas in the sun. A perfumed fragrance lingers at the front of the nose, with honeycomb and peach pits becoming more prominent. Leave the dram to aerate and a damp wood spice develops.

Palate: Stewed orchard fruits come through first with peaches and plums at the front of the medley. Soft vanilla is joined by caramel and a darker, richer honey than that on the nose. Oak spice then enters and intertwines with a damp cigar leaf from the floor of a dunnage warehouse.

Finish: The sweetness slowly dissipates and is taken over by the damp spice. Light tannins leave the palate thirsty for more.

2)Royal Brackla 2011 11YO HD->Ruby Port Finish #110001316/ 56.90%

Single cask, cask strength 

Nose: Rich syrupy fruits, toasted almonds, cinnamon, and cedar.

Palate: Strawberry jam on toast, dark chocolate, toffee, figs, and a good kick of ginger.

Finish: Festive spices with a hint of coffee bitterness.
