Description
Brûlée Royale is a sumptuous one-off release that celebrates the sweet alchemy of fire and oak. Crafted by lead whiskymaker Samuel Travers, this limited edition combines rare single malts to create a dram of exceptional depth and indulgence. Inspired by the 17th-century French chef François Massialot, the pioneer of the first recorded crème brûlée recipe, this whisky reflects the precision of caramelised sugar transformed by flame. It highlights specially selected parcels, including Clynelish matured in second-fill American oak barrels that were toasted and charred to exacting standards. At 49% ABV, Brûlée Royale delivers a full-bodied richness and a lingering sweetness that invites slow savouring.
Expect a nose of crème brûlée, poached pears and freshly split vanilla pods. The palate is thick and velvety with clotted cream, honeyed malt and broiled peaches, unfolding into layers of custard Danish and gently toasted tarte Tatin. A soft nutmeg spice drifts through silken jersey milk, finishing with whispers of burnt toffee and a playful hint of banana split.
