Product Details:
Distilled at Royal Brackla in the heart of the Cawdor Estate, this is where the Cawdor Collection begins. As the name suggests, Release 01 – The Source is the foundation liquid from which the collection grows: an 11 year old single malt matured entirely in a single refill sherry butt, allowing the distillery’s character to speak with minimal interference from the wood. This is Royal Brackla as it truly is, unhurried, honest, and quietly exceptional.
At cask strength, a few drops of water reward patience, though this is equally compelling neat. With only 64 bottles available, The Source is a fitting opening chapter and essential context for everything that follows.
Cask Type: Refill Sherry Butt
Limited: 64 Bottles
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Orchard fruit richness: poached pear, baked apple, and a delicate floral lift,
Palate: Cereal sweetness arrives first, followed by ripe plum, a creamy mid-palate texture, and hints of milk chocolate and toasted oak.
Finish: Long and considered, with lingering dried fruit, a whisper of winter spice, and a clean oaky dryness on the tail.
