This is a 30 year old Speyside single malt from Braes of Glenlivet, distilled in 1989 and matured in a single cask. Hunter Laing bottled it at a cask strength of 54.7% ABV for the Old & Rare Heritage series, filling 236 bottles in 70cl size. The distillery was renamed Braeval in 1994. The nose is faintly nutty, with peach, strawberry and a Turkish bazaar note. The palate is rich and creamy, with milk chocolate, stewed fruit and a pleasant maltiness. The finish is long, with dark fruit and sandalwood.
