- Description
- Braeval's 16-year-old was distilled in 2009 and finished with 12 months in first-fill bourbon barrel before independent bottler Gleann Mór released just 195 bottles from a single cask. The bourbon barrel finish imparts vanilla and caramel sweetness over the Speyside distillery's natural honey and stone fruit character. The limited cask release ensures individual bottle character while the first-fill wood adds generous vanilla and oak spice. This bottling appeals to collectors and those seeking single-cask Speyside expressions with genuine scarcity.
