About this Woodrow's whisky

From Woodrow’s of Edinburgh’s Warehouse Reserve range comes this elegant 16-year-old Royal Brackla, distilled on 14 September 2009 and bottled on 16 July 2025. Matured in a refill hogshead before a finishing period in a first fill American oak Palo Cortado quarter cask, this Highland single malt has been bottled at cask strength (56.7%) with natural colour and no chill filtration. The nose offers a fruity complexity, balancing crisp green apple and stone fruits with creamy vanilla fudge. The palate is mouth-coating and indulgent, combining peaches and orange with rich pecan, treacle, and buttery pastry. The finish lingers with hazelnuts, dark chocolate orange, and a touch of digestive biscuit. A beautifully autumnal dram – soft, cosy, and full of character.

Meet The Founder

Woody Tan

Originally from Hong Kong, Woody Tan has lived in Scotland since 2011. He studied an MSc in Brewing and Distilling at Heriot-Watt University, and then went into the cask trade and warehouse keeping. While looking after casks, he started to discover gems that he felt had to be shared with fellow whisky lovers. He bottles these special casks under his Woodrow’s of Edinburgh label.

Woody has an excellent palate, and a knack for uncovering really flavoursome casks. He’s also a wizard when it comes to cask experiments, and has released some interesting cask-finished whiskies.
