Whispering Waters - Braeval 9.97 Year Single Malt Scotch
Introducing Whispering Waters Braeval 9.97 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distilled amidst the verdant landscapes of Speyside, our Braeval 9.97 year — officially marked as 9 years due to bottling just shy of its 10th anniversary — is a testament to the art of fine whisky crafting. Distilled on October 28, 2014, and bottled on October 14, 2024, this remarkable expression marries the robust spirit of Braeval with the deep, lush sweetness of a first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry cask.
Distinctive Features of Distillation:
- Rare and Exquisite: Braeval distillery, known for its contributions to popular blends, seldom releases its spirits as single malts, making this offering a rare treasure for discerning palates. Nestled in the highest altitudes of Speyside, Braeval’s whiskies are celebrated for their vibrant and lush character, which is amplified beautifully by the exceptional Pedro Ximenez cask.
Exceptional Cask Influence:
- Full PX Sherry Maturation: Unlike many whiskies that only finish their journey in sherry wood, our Braeval has spent its entire maturation in a first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry cask. This extensive interaction with the rich, sweet cask imbues the whisky with an extraordinary depth of flavor — think dark fruits drenched in sunlight, dripping with the natural sugars and complex essence only such a cask can provide.
Nose
Dark, jammy fruits intertwine with herbaceous berries, unveiling layers of sherried sweetness complemented by rich cherry chocolate and sun-dried fruits.
Palate
Silky dark chocolate envelops the taste buds, enriched with stewed blackberries and currants, woven together with honeyed dates. A robust undertone of dense oak anchors the flavors.
Finish
Woody spices gradually emerge, supported by a backdrop of sherried oak. Subtle hints of chilli and candied ginger add a zesty, lingering velvety warmth to the finish.
