Integrity Malts: Royal Brackla 2013 Olorosso Cask [12y Cask Update]
Published 12 May 2025
Integrity Malts have been very busy in the background recently. Not only have they developed a new look and feel for their bottles, they've been finessing their brand story, positioning and messaging before launch. Part of this process also involved obtaining professional tasting notes for their bottles prior to launch.
Here are their thoughts on the Royal Brackla 2013 Oloroso 59.9%
Nose: Layers of cherry lead: sour, purée, maraschino, jam and hints of gummi sweets. Almonds and marzipan follow, nutty and rich with Bakewell tart hints. A touch of leather and new car develops and blows away, followed by sticky raisins and liquorice.
Palate: Brown-sugar sweetness kicks things off, with buttery pastry following before rich raisins and sweet, dried cherry. Dark chocolate develops, lightly spiced with black pepper and nutmeg. Dried orange peel and the liquorice fade in towards the end.
Finish: Dark fruit cake with singed edges fades to leave cherry and raisin. Gentle baking spice notes linger.
This cask bottles in the Autumn so grab a share in this fantastic cask at a great price whilst you can.
Cheers,
