✦ Neatly Summary

Braeval 30 Year Old (cask 15542) - Xtra Old Particular (Douglas Laing) is a 30-year-old single malt from Braeval (AKA Braes of Glenlivet) (Speyside, Scotland), bottled at 50.2% ABV. Expect fruity, sweet and oaky character — old wood, sherried, dried fruit, chocolate. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Braeval's 1991 distillation spent 30 years maturing in a single cask before Douglas Laing bottled it for the Xtra Old Particular series in January 2022, yielding just 230 bottles from cask 15542. Three decades of undisturbed aging have developed dried fruit, honeycomb, and subtle oak spice characteristics typical of mature Speyside, with a silky texture and measured finish. This is a collector's whisky for those with access and patience—a rare glimpse into how a single parcel of spirit evolves across three decades.
