Braeval 10 Year Old Tasting Notes

Jack and Dana's tasting notes

Nose: A classic sherry bomb. Bright and fruity distillate lying under the cover of rich butterscotch and sticky toffee pudding.

Palate: Rich and generous with sticky dates, cinnamon swirl pastry and melted vanilla ice cream.

Finish: Gentle and slow to leave with butterscotch oozing off the palate to reveal oak and the waft of a spice cupboard.

About Uncharted Whisky's Higher Ground

Braeval Distillery sits atop Speyside and indeed the Scotch Whisky world. It is the highest distillery in Scotland (pipping Dalwhinnie by a mere 2 metres) - hence the name given to this vatting of these two sisters barriques. In the tiny village of Chapeltown, near Ballindalloch the distillery was built in 1973 and originally named ‘Braes of Glenlivet’. This was a great name given it’s location on the braes of Speyside however, due to the ensuing confusion with Glenlivet distillery, it was renamed in 1994 to Braeval.

The malt springs from some very tall and slender pot stills which make for a light and delicate spirit which is why the spirit has been used consistently (and with good reason) in production of global blend brands such as Chivas Regal. The same light character has paired beautifully with the Oloroso sherry barriques maturation.

Jack and Dana at Uncharted love working with these whiskies that often end up in blends because if you want to try them in their best guise - small batches of whisky in great wood - you have to come to the indie whisky world where Uncharted thrive.

This iteration of Braeval is stunningly rich with notes of chocolate, sticky toffee pudding, and melted vanilla ice cream blend into spiced clootie dumpling finish.
