What is not to love?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIndy bottled spirit from Royal Brackla Distillery is often called “Cawdor Springs” - a reference to the Cawdor estate neighbouring the distillery and the waters drawn from there to produce this spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnpeated Brackla, or Cawdor Springs\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e was filled as new make spirit to fresh oloroso sherry hogsheads and left there for the entire maturation. No finishing casks this time, simply 8 years basking in glorious sherry oak. The natural cask strength was 63.8% which on tasting was a bit over the top to show the best of this whisky. Jack and Dana have bottled it at the still gutsy but less lethal strength of 55% and of course at natural colour, without chill filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat’s In A Name?\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe natural colour of all Scotch is driven by the wood it is matured in and whatever those casks held previously. These are beautiful first-fill European sherry oak hogshead which housed oloroso sherry. The oloroso lends a red colouration while the oak blends in its own golden brown to the palette! Consider this a red cask, painted Brack- fabulous wood balanced with a fabulous spirit, bottled high, as opposed to Brackla painted over in red! It’s all about balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003eInteresting factoid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCawdor Estate was mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth - \u003ci\u003ethe Scottish play\u003c\/i\u003e. Like all good storytellers, though, Shakespeare didn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story. The real historical Macbeth lived and died hundreds of years before the castle was built. It was originally called Calder, not Cawdor. The name evolved after the real Macbeth (died 1057) but before the play was penned circa 1606.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncharted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57417262891383,"sku":"UCH-RBR-08-550","price":64.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0428\/1722\/4864\/files\/uncharted-whisky-paint-it-brack-royal-brackla-8-year-old-1.png?v=1787994132","url":"https:\/\/topwhiskies.com\/products\/uncharted-whisky-paint-it-brack-royal-brackla-8-year-old","provider":"TopWhiskies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
