Description
Royal Brackla 16 Year Old 2008 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl 58.2% is a rare Highland single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of the Cask Strength Collection – Symington’s Choice. It was distilled on 2 July 2008 and bottled on 28 May 2025, giving it a full 16 years of maturation before release.
This bottling comes from cask number 2, a 1st Fill Sherry Butt – American Oak, and was released at its natural cask strength of 58.2% ABV. It is also listed as natural colour, non-chill filtered, and single cask, preserving the whisky’s full texture, body, and cask-driven depth. The total outturn was 676 bottles.
Royal Brackla is often appreciated for a refined Highland style, and this kind of first-fill sherry maturation gives it a richer, darker, and more concentrated profile than standard distillery bottlings usually show. Retail tasting notes point to dark chocolate, dried fruit, toasted walnut, orange peel, and black coffee, making this an excellent bottle for drinkers who enjoy mature sherried Highland whisky with power and structure.
