Established in 1812 near Cawdor in the Scottish Highlands, Royal Brackla holds a distinction shared by very few distilleries in Scotland. In 1833 it became the first distillery to be granted a Royal Warrant, bestowed by King William IV, earning it the enduring title of The King's Own Whisky. That heritage of quality and craftsmanship underpins every expression released under the Royal Brackla name, and this 19 Year Old Exceptional Cask release is a particularly fine example of the distillery's considered approach to maturation.
Limited to just 1,170 bottles, this small batch release has been matured in carefully selected casks before a finishing period in Oloroso sherry casks adds a further layer of richness and complexity. Bottled at 54.9% ABV, non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, it is presented in the fullest expression of the distillery's traditional style. A release of genuine rarity, it merits consideration from serious collectors and makes a distinguished gift for those who appreciate provenance and craft in equal measure.
Tasting Note by Royal Brackla: Nose: Smooth vanilla sweetness with soft notes of creamy coconut and ripe honeydew melon, lifted by gentle hints of cinnamon and star anise. Palate: Full bodied and well rounded, with vanilla and coconut at the centre, layered with the lush fruitiness of honeydew melon and a warming weave of cinnamon spice and star anise.Finish: Long and vibrant, with lingering warmth, gentle spice and a clean sweetness that fades gradually.
Situated on the shores of Loch Indaal on Islay, Bowmore is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, established in 1779. Its position on the loch exposes its legendary No. 1 Vaults, the oldest maturation warehouse in Scotch whisky, directly to the sea, lending the distillery's expressions their characteristic interplay of maritime influence and gentle peat. This 14 Year Old was crafted exclusively for Global Travel Retail, drawing on Bowmore's longstanding reputation for complexity and its willingness to explore cask influence with genuine creativity.
The whisky is first matured for 14 years in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, building the distillery's assertive, layered character before a finishing period in Bordeaux wine barriques sourced from some of France's most distinguished wineries. The Bordeaux finish introduces a lighter, brighter dimension that sits in considered contrast to Bowmore's naturally robust style, the result of a collaboration rooted in a shared respect for terroir, heritage and patient craft. Bottled exclusively for the travel retail channel, this is a distinctive and collection-worthy expression that rewards those with an adventurous palate.
Tasting Note by Bowmore: Nose: Ripe cherries. Palate: Salty, drying and spicy, yielding to a rousing, expressive orchestra of rich fruit. Finish: Raspberries, cherries and strawberries, resolving to an adventurous bitter dark chocolate.
Milroy's Heavily Peated Cask Strength is a bold, high-octane single malt selected and vatted by the expert team at Milroy's of Soho, one of the UK's most respected whisky specialists since 1964. Bottled at natural cask strength with no chill-filtration and no added colour, this expression is built for those who demand intensity and character in the glass.
The vatting combines 40% new oak and 60% first-fill Kentucky bourbon casks, a deliberate balance that brings dominant wood structure alongside fresher, more vibrant elements. The result is a coastal, phenolic single malt that performs equally well neat, over ice, or in cocktails.
Tasting Note by Milroy's:Nose: Smoked peanuts, burnt toast, petrichor and citrus peels.Palate: Roadwork smoke, black pepper, charred tropical fruit and honeycomb.Finish: Very long with chilli spice and industrial smoke.

This expression is remarkably versatile, delivering well neat and over ice whilst also making a compelling smoky Highball. It is a fitting addition to Milroy's portfolio of heavily peated bottlings, each crafted to showcase a distinct facet of peated Scotch whisky.
Tasting Note by Milroy's:Nose: Medicinal smoke, tomato leaf, liquorice and elastoplast.Palate: Cinnamon, industrial smoke, strawberry jam and eucalyptus.Finish: Long with kerosene and sweet chilli chocolate.
