Good review score, 82 out of 100
Sharp, herbal and almost acerbic neat, this Braeval improves with water, revealing lemons, green apples and a welcome barley-syrup sweetness.
Spirit of Scotland Braeval is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, and this 9-year-old bottling sits at a relatively youthful stage of maturation. For a novice drinker, that often means a fresher, brighter style rather than deep oak influence.
