MM Distillery profile:
he Royal Brackla distillery is located in the Speyside area of Scotland, at least according to legendary whisky writer (not infamous child molester) Michael Jackson. However, most other whisky writers place Brackla (the 'Royal' part is optional) in the Northern Highlands region and according to a little survey I did it seems that most certified malt maniacs agree. .
