Royal Brackla 2008 Sherry Butt The Samurai Kirsch Serie Signatory Vintage No. 153 70cl, 58.6%
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep amber. This is a presentation-led inference based on the sherry butt finish and product imagery.
Nose: Rich sherry, dark fruit, oak spice, and a polished Highland character. This nose wording is a careful style-led adaptation based on the cask type and review-style source information rather than a formal official distillery note.
Palate: Full and warming with dried fruit, sweet malt, spice, and concentrated sherry influence. This palate wording is also an informed adaptation from the release style and review material rather than a published official tasting sheet.
Finish: Long and warming with lingering dark fruit, spice, oak, and rich cask depth. This finish wording is an inference based on the cask style and available review context.

Collector’s Note
This is the kind of bottle that attracts collector attention because it combines a respected distillery, an independent Signatory Vintage bottling, a Kirsch-exclusive Samurai identity, and a limited single-cask release. The specific “No. 153” marking adds extra individuality to the piece, which can matter to buyers who enjoy numbered presentation details. That last point about numbered appeal is an inference, but the Samurai series and release details are source-supported.
