The Royal Brackla 1978 Rare Malts Selection is a 20-year-old single malt whisky from the distinguished Highland distillery of Royal Brackla. This exceptional whisky was first distilled in 1978 and meticulously bottled in May 1998 at its natural cask strength of 59.8%. It is a part of Diageo's now-discontinued Rare Malts Selection, a prestigious series of cask-strength releases designed to unveil some of the hidden gems within Diageo's extensive portfolio.
Royal Brackla distillery, now under the ownership of Bacardi since 1998, boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1812. It proudly holds a Royal Warrant granted by King William IV in 1835, marking it as the first Scotch whisky distillery to receive such an honor. Although the distillery's prominence waned under Diageo, it experienced a renaissance under Bacardi's stewardship, with a new range of official bottlings debuting in 2015.
