Braeval 1995 Gordon and Macphail
70cl
A medium bodied and smooth tasting single malt from a seldom seen distillery. Braeval is situated high up in the Grampian mountains and most of its output goes into the Chivas Regal blends. This is a very good example and has some great fruity characters contributed by the refill sherry casks used for ageing.
