Tasting Notes Needed

Hi Bill,

Brackla used to be owned by UDV and had a 10 year old bottling under the Flora & Fauna range. They have since been bought up by Dewar's (parent company Bacardi) along with Aberfeldy and a few others. No new official bottling has been made available since. Brackla is clean and fruity (apples, pears, melons) on the palate, getting creamy and sweeter with age. There is a bottling of 20 year old Brackla under the Rare Malts label and Murray McDavid have one around

Dear Johanna and Bill,

There is a recent Royal Brackla 8yo OB actually, bottled at least for Italy (40%). I've got the bottle right on my desk just now, but I haven't tasted it yet. (Dark bordeaux + gold label)

Okay, Johanna, I though I'd better send you a sample of some new Ardbeg, or Brora I just got (what about the Brorageddon?) But I understand I should send you this Brackla instead. No problemo, on you orders! ;-)

Of course, I understand perfectly Serge. Seeing as you are obviously running low on sample bottles no problem, I will send you empty ones to fill with some Brorageddon and old Ardbeg (pre-1975 I hope!) and since I'm feeling especially generous, I will send you a sample of the Brora 30 OB for your own personal comparison... ;o)

Un grand baiser!

Johanna
