Berry Bros & Rudd - Royal Brackla ex Bordeaux Wine Friends of BBR (52,3%)

This Royal Brackla 2006, bottled by Berry Bros & Rudd for the Dutch “Friends of BBR”, is a single cask release with a clear focus on refinement and balance. After initial maturation in bourbon casks, it received a finish in a Saint-Julien Bordeaux wine cask, adding a subtle but distinctive layer.

The nose opens with elegance and fruit-driven notes, showing red berries, orange peel and soft vanilla. The wine influence remains restrained, adding gentle spice and a lightly drying edge.

On the palate, the profile broadens with darker fruit, cocoa and a slight tannic structure from the Bordeaux cask. The balance remains intact, with fruit and oak well integrated.

The finish is long and slightly dry, with lingering fruit, spice and a refined oak influence.
