Old Particular Royal Brackla 15 Year Old 2008 (Fire Dragon)

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 55%

A Royal Brackla single malt, distilled in 2008 and filled into a refill hogshead, until the folks at Douglas Laing opened up the cask, releasing a total of 272 bottles for its Old Particular series. Bottled as part of their Elemental Dragon Series, this release is the Fire Dragon whisky, symbolizing the auspicious Zodiac of the Chinese Lunar Year.

Tasting Note

Typical bright toffee and caramel bourbon notes dominate the nose. On the palate, fiery and spicy notes take center stage, with a hint of almost vegetal grassiness (or perhaps hay), resulting in a bold whisky experience that got our attention... Flavorful, delivers a rather punchy, almost fiery sensation on the palate and throat during the finish- living up to its ‘Fire Dragon’ designation!
