The latest addition to the Silver Seal Young range launched last year, this Royal Brackla is still 15 years old. Aged in a single Oloroso Sherry cask, it produced 217 bottles.
Let's Taste It :
Crème brûlée, buttered toasts, ripe bananas, juicy apples and pears, brown sugar, cinnamon. Some red fruits in the background, cherries and redcurrants, but discreet. Coppery wood, damp leather. On the palate, it's unctuous and pastry-like, more on apricot and fig. Perhaps a touch of exotic fruits, blueberries, lively spices. Half-melted chocolate. Powerful, long finish, cloves, pepper, oak bark, still some cinnamon, filled brownies, pecan nuts, dried sultanas. Roasted peanuts.
In Short,
It's a great success, with a light Sherry that brings fruit and sweetness. The cinnamon is predominantly present, providing a framework for the whole tasting experience. As usual with this bottler, it's too expensive for my wallet, but wealthy enthusiasts can treat themselves.
Score : 90
