Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with sun-kissed straw and a whisper of honey; a light, luminous amber glints at the edge, refined by decades in oak.
Nose
Light, malt-forward aromas mingle with layered oak; honeyed sweetness threads through pear and green apple, with vanilla and toffee. A delicate spice of white pepper and cinnamon, plus subtle dried fruit and toasted oak, add depth, all carried by Braeval’s clean Speyside core.
Palate
Silky, malt-forward palate with gentle sweetness and soft spice. Layered hogshead oak coats the palate with vanilla and light cedar, while Braeval’s clean Speyside character stays bright and precise. The warmth from 54.4% ABV lingers gracefully.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with a wake of warm oak and a gentle sweetness. Subtle spice unfolds into vanilla and toffee, joined by dried fruit and a bright malt echo. The hogshead influence lingers softly, leaving a refined, marzipan-dusted sweetness that fades to a clean, comforting glow.
