The Rare Malts are a series of Diageo cask-strength releases, designed to show off some of the lesser known whiskies in its empire. Now discontinued they are much sought after by collectors.

The Brackla distillery was built in 1812 by Captain William Fraser of Brackla House on the estate of Cawdor Castle.

In 1833 Brackla Distillery became the first whisky distillery to be granted a Royal Warrant by order of King William IV. This made Royal Brackla one of only three distilleries ever honoured to bear the name 'Royal', the others being active distillery Royal Lochnagar and demolished distillery Glenury Royal. Queen Victoria renewed the Royal Warrant in 1838.
