Deep maltiness emerges from the background. When tasted, it offers a luxurious Sherry character with prunes, raisins, and a slow-revealing spice profile. A pronounced sweetness balances with a firm tannic structure, while the malt's savory depth lingers on the finish. [Good/Very Good] Recently bottled for Japan's JIS import system, this Royal Brackla 1994 was aged for 22 years. At first glance, its deep color suggested a first-fill Sherry cask, but it was actually a refill. However, the Sherry influence is clearly present, with aromas of ripe dark fruits, dried fruit, coffee, chocolate, and spices. The palate delivers a satisfying Sherry character, with rich sweetness balanced by tannins. The malt's savory essence remains intact, making this a well-crafted Sherry cask whisky. Indeed, the JIS selection proves insightful - a fascinating and delicious bottling.
