BRAEVAL 36 ans 1989 Whiskyland Chapter Twenty Six Decadent Drinks

Situated over 350 metres above sea level in the high reaches of Speyside, Braeval (formerly Braes of Glenlivet) is one of Scotland’s highest-altitude distilleries. Long destined for blending, it nevertheless produces a remarkably refined spirit, defined by freshness, orchard fruits and a delicate texture. Its naturally elegant style thrives in long, low-intervention maturation. This 36 Year Old 1989 Braeval, matured in a refill hogshead, highlights the purity of the distillate and the gentle influence of time: an airy, precise and deeply harmonious whisky where maturity enhances complexity without heaviness.
