Braeval 2010 Little Brown Dog 16 Year Old White Port Barrique Single Speyside Malt Whisky 57.3%
Little Brown Dog has created an unusual and memorable whisky with this bottling from Braeval Distillery – a 16-year-old single malt showcasing just how exciting and elegant a full maturation white port barrique cask can be.
This whisky was distilled on February 2nd, 2010, and bottled on February 11th, 2026, at an impressive 57.3% ABV. White port casks are rarely seen in the whisky world, especially for full-term maturation, which is exactly what makes this release so special. Little Brown Dog has long had a passion for experimenting with unique cask types, and this bottling also carries a personal story for the bottlers, making the project even more meaningful.
The colour is described as “Jurassic Park Amber” – a warm and vibrant amber hue that immediately promises a fruity and full-bodied experience. The nose opens elegantly with honeydew melon, clear gummy bears, and fresh hay, giving the whisky a bright, summery, and almost playful character.
On the palate, green apple skins, tarte aux poires, and quince jelly appear in beautiful balance. The white port cask adds refined fruitiness and a wine-like elegance that enhances the spirit’s natural Speyside character without overpowering it.
The finish is long and creamy with notes of white Burgundy and the kind of quality milk chocolate you never want to share. The result is a whisky with depth, charm, and a truly distinctive profile that stands apart from classic bourbon and sherry maturations.
The label is inspired by Braeval’s location as one of the highest distilleries in Scotland, where the clouds almost become part of the landscape itself. It perfectly suits this airy, elegant, and high-spirited whisky.
Only 332 bottles were produced, making this limited edition an excellent choice for collectors and adventurous whisky enthusiasts looking to experience something rare from the Speyside region.
