Braeval 2014 8 Year Old Single Cask | Master of Malt

A Limited Single Cask Speyside Release

Distilled at Braeval in September 2014 and bottled by Master of Malt in October 2022, this 8 year old single cask release was matured exclusively in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead before being bottled at its natural cask strength of 64.6% ABV. Limited to just 395 bottles, it offers a rich, sherry-driven interpretation of one of Speyside's lesser-seen distilleries through an independent bottling renowned for small-batch releases.

About the Bottling

Master of Malt's Single Cask series focuses on selecting individual casks that showcase each distillery's character without dilution or chill filtration. Matured entirely in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead and bottled at full natural strength, this Braeval release highlights the distillery's elegant Speyside spirit beneath a generous layer of rich sherry influence. With only 395 bottles released worldwide, it represents a limited independent snapshot of a distillery rarely encountered outside official blending programmes.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
