Royal Brackla 12 Year (Discontinued)

i found a smooth buttery taste and a wonderful finish

I am not sure what to make out of this one. There is nothing unique that it excels at nor does it have any major flaws. Sweet with hints of sherry, dried fruits, some earth like notes, little spice, green apples, and oak. The finish is medium to short. There are many excellent options for a 12 year old at and below this price range making the recommendation for this one difficult.

Kind of a burnt fruit and herb combination on the nose. Medium bodied, slight salinity, smoky, peaty. Even more so with a couple of drops of water. Not terribly complex, pretty one-dimensional with burnt smokiness, not getting much beyond that.
