Royal Brackla Distillery is regarded as one of Scotland’s most prestigious and historically significant distilleries, owned by John Dewar & Sons of Bacardi. In 1833, it became the first Scotch whisky distillery ever granted a Royal Warrant by King William IV to earn the title “The King’s Own Whisky". Today, Royal Brackla is recognised for its refined Highland character and luxurious cask finishes.
