Braes Of Glenlivet 25 Year Old Rare Release

Braes of Glenlivet, originally known simply as Braeval, is a rare single malt from a Highland distillery with a unique history, founded in 1973 and briefly mothballed during its early years. Matured for 25 years in first-fill American oak barrels, this expression—bottled in October 2020—reveals a character shaped by both its Speyside origins and modern, efficient production. Expect a whisky of notable strength at 48% ABV, offering a complex profile hinting at fruit and oak influence. This bottling represents one of the few official releases from a distillery that remained largely hidden for decades.
