Royal Brackla Special Reserve Miniature - Employees Only

A real rarity, Royal Brackla was distilled in 1924 and bottled at an incredible 60 years old. At the time, the license for the distillery was held by John Bisset & Co who did not have a brand in place for the production of this release. Their blending and bottling operation had also been wound down, so DCL tasked one of the other companies within their stable, James Buchanan & Co, with the bottling of these. Originally, sixty decanters were filled to commemorate the 60th birthday of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, each of which were filled into crystal decanters featuring the branding of Buchanan's Black & White blend. As they were never intended for public sale, the remainder of the whisky was hastily filled into 62 of their standard Black & White branded bottles, and a handful of these rare miniatures.

These were given out as gifts to staff and local dignitaries upon the re-opening of the distillery in 1991.
