Mossburn Vintage Casks No 41 Royal Brackla 2008 is a third-party bottling of Highland Single Malt Whisky. It is part of Mossburn’s Vintage Casks range, a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies each issuing from a strictly limited and select batch of casks.
Mossburn Distillers & Blenders is a Scotch whisky project owned by Marussia Beverages, part of the empire controlled by Swedish billionaire Frederik Paulsen. The company is headquartered in Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders on the site of the former Jedforest Hotel. There are plans for a new distillery, called Reivers Distillery, which will be one of the first new distilleries to be built in the Borders for over 150 years.
Mossburn have also established Torabhaig Distillery on the Isle of Skye, which opened in 2017 (the second distillery on Skye after Highland Park). The parent company also own the Kaikyo Distillery in Japan, which produces Hatozaki whiskies. Not content with this, they have also created the peaty Caisteal Chamuis whisky range. The first Mossburn bottlings were released in 2017.
Building a whisky distillery and waiting for whisky to come online (the spirit has to be aged for at least 3 years before it can even be called whisky) is a long-term project. So, in the meantime, Mossburn have started the ball rolling by bottling a small collection of ever-changing single malt whiskies and two permanent blended malts, an Island and Speyside, with bespoke cask bills. There are also some very limited, occasional, small batch and single cask bottlings.
The Royal Brackla distillery was established in 1812 by Captain William Fraser of Brackla House on the estate of Cawdor Castle. In 1833, the Brackla Distillery became the first whisky distillery to be granted a royal warrant by King William IV. One of only three distilleries to do so, the others being Royal Lochnagar and the now demolished Glenury Royal distillery. Today, the distillery is owned by Bacardi and is used in blended whiskies such as Dewar’s and Johnnie Walker Gold Label.
A decadent and refined whisky. Available to buy now at Fareham Wine Cellar.
