As strange a whisky as I have ever come across. I can't get myself to either like it or dislike it: there's a malty quality I really enjoy here, like drinking beer, but I question their choice of casks - I can't get past this hint of rotting wood. Teasing out the flavors more, there are additional notes of apples and walnuts that I don't find play nice. And while the finish is pleasant and reminiscent of drinking a really delicious white ale, the road to get there was too bizarre.

Royal Brackla really seems to have consistency problems because of cask selection, which is a shame because there's so much potential here.
Had this last week at a friends house. I agree, there is an odd element in there that kills the deal.
