Royal Brackla 11YO James Eadie (52.4%)

This 11-year-old James Eadie bottling comes from Royal Brackla Distillery, a Highland distillery known for its softer and more rounded style. Matured in a refill butt, the cask adds structure without overshadowing the spirit.

It opens gently, with notes of vanilla, honey and ripe apple. Light floral hints bring a fresh edge, while the cask influence remains in the background.

On the palate, it gains more body. Creamy toffee and peach are joined by fresh citrus zest and subtle spice. The higher strength adds depth and length without becoming harsh.

The finish is long and warming, with lingering oak, gentle spice and a touch of white pepper.
