- Description
- This single cask Speyside malt from Braeval was distilled in 2001 and matured for 15 years in a Sherry butt before bottling in 2016 by Douglas Laing's Old Particular range. The extended aging in Sherry wood would have imparted deep amber colour and pronounced dried fruit, spice, and oak character to the spirit. Limited to 377 bottles, this represents the kind of focused, single-vintage expression that appeals to collectors seeking Speyside depth and complexity.
