About this Tri Carragh whisky
Tri Carragh presents this remarkable 30-year-old Braes of Glenlivet, distilled in 1994 and drawn from a single refill bourbon barrel, yielding just 124 bottles. Braes of Glenlivet – often known simply as Braeval – is one of Speyside’s lesser-seen distilleries, with very few single malt releases making it to market. That makes this three-decade-old expression a true rarity, showcasing the distillery’s elegant, fruity style in its purest form.
Bottled at cask strength (50.6%), with natural colour and no chill filtration, this whisky has been allowed to mature undisturbed for three decades, developing a refined sweetness and layered complexity.
On the nose, it’s instantly inviting – a medley of toffee apples, vanilla fudge, red apples, strawberries and sugar icing, a bouquet you could sit with for hours. The palate bursts with sweet fruitcake, gentle spice, and creamy depth, opening beautifully with water to reveal more ripe fruit and soft estery notes. The finish lingers gracefully, leaving behind waves of juicy strawberry and icing sugar sweetness.
A rare and refined Speyside dram, this release is a showcase of long-aged whisky at its best – delicate, balanced, and endlessly rewarding.
