Royal Brackla 9 Year Old 2012 (cask 493) – Rebels (The Guerilla Casks)

The Rebels Guerilla Casks range from bottlers Brave New Spirits is all about finding more interesting and outlandish casks for whisky than the traditional offerings of ex-bourbon or sherry. Case in point, this cask-strength 9-year-old Royal Brackla 2012 was bottled in 2021 after spending its life in a first-fill wine barrique that previously housed Banyuls, a sweet French fortified wine from Roussillon.
