  Braes of Glenlivet 1979/1995 Signatory Vintage 15 years old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 43%

  Item no.: 505956-807534-795

  Some distilleries never become household names on the shelf. They work quietly, supply malt for other people's blends, and only rarely let a single bottle out on its own. Braes of Glenlivet is one of them.

  Expert Description

  Braes of Glenlivet 1979/1995 Signatory Vintage 15 Year Old is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in sherry casks and bottled at 43%.

  The whisky comes from the Braes of Glenlivet distillery, today known as Braeval, rarely seen bottled as a single malt since most of its production traditionally goes into blends. This release was distilled on 6 June 1979 and bottled by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage in May 1995 from two sherry casks (cask no. 16042 and 16043), after 15 years of maturation. Only 1,200 bottles were released in Signatory Vintage's classic dumpy bottle, making it a sought-after collector's item from a distillery rarely seen in this form.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark amber with a reddish tint, and an aroma of roasted nuts, dark berries, raisins, leather and old orange peel, in a complex and harmonious sherry nose with a hint of tobacco and herbs.

  Palate

  Soft and full with dates, raisins, old oak and black pepper, carried by leather, a light sulphur note, tobacco, menthol and a touch of liquorice.

  Finish

  Long and warm with dark fruit and a lingering sherry character.

  Investment Potential

  High. Braes of Glenlivet, today Braeval, is very rarely bottled as a single malt, and a vintage bottling from 1979 with only 1,200 bottles is exactly the kind of release that rises sharply in demand among collectors of closed or rarely seen distilleries.

  Did You Know?

  Braes of Glenlivet officially changed its name to Braeval in 1994, precisely to avoid confusion with The Glenlivet, yet bottles like this one, released before the name change had fully taken hold, still carry the original name.

  Braeval 2010 Little Brown Dog 16 Year Old White Port Barrique Single Speyside Malt Whisky 57.3%

  Item no.: 22333-9003

  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.
