A 25 year old single malt from the Braeval distillery, bottled by Douglas Laing for their very impression Xtra Old Particular range. This was distilled in August 1991 and aged in a single refill hogshead until June 2017, when Douglas Laing came along and bottled it up at cask strength. A release of 253 bottles.
Surprisingly refreshing, with notes of blueberry and strawberry up front.
Spiced begin to take shape here, with crushed pepper, nutmeg and cardamom developing. Still enjoyably fruity.
Lingering brown sugar and tree sap sweetness.
I've never had a bad whisky from Douglas Laing, whether it's a single malt or a blended malt, and this one certainly doesn't disappoint!!
