Details

This peerless one-of-one Single Cask expression of Royal Brackla 54 Year Old has been exclusively bottled for The Distillers One of One Auction 2025.

Meticulously crafted over half a century, this rare and well-aged whisky is a timeless masterpiece of artistry and tradition. Filled in to a single refill Hogshead on 24th March 1970 and laid to rest in oak for more than five decades, the liquid was handpicked by Malt Master Stephanie Macleod.

Spending this amount of time in oak has given great depth and maturity to the whisky, showing off the quality of the cask. With rich and inviting notes of waxy fruits, caramelised peaches, and a hint of syrupy pineapple. Perfectly balanced with spiced tannin undertones and a touch of smoke to finish.

To match the stunning taste and quality of this precious Single Malt, the golden liquid is suitably encased in a beautiful and sophisticated bespoke Crystal Carafe, handmade in France by one of the most prestigious crystal glass makers in the world. La Cristallerie Royale de Saint-Louis was founded in 1586 and is the oldest crystal maker in the whole of Europe. The Royal Brackla decanter is crafted entirely by hand, taking an incredible three weeks and the combined skills of fifteen Saint-Louis master crystal makers to forge just one decanter.

Rare and finite, Royal Brackla 54 Year Old Single Cask #2665 is truly one of a kind.
