Braeval 1996 25 Year Old Duncan Taylor The Octave Cask Strength

From Duncan Taylors The Octave range, which is all about whisky finished in tiny octave casks, comes a 25 year old single malt distilled by Braeval! This was aged from 1996 to 2021, including a stay in an octave cask, and bottled at cask strength with an outturn of 86 bottles. Nose: Nutty flapjacks and fresh strawberries, with a drizzle of maple syrup. Palate: More savoury notes come through on the palate, with nutmeg, dry oak, and spicy ginger, soon followed by another helping of maple syrup and baked goods. Finish: A splash of tropical fruit brightness arrives right on the finish.
