Braeval 17 Year Old Single Cask Edition Distillery Exclusive 50cl, 56.4%

Description

Braeval 17 Year Old Single Cask Edition Distillery Exclusive 50cl, 56.4% is a distillery-bottled Speyside single malt from Chivas Brothers’ Distillery Reserve Collection, a line of limited whiskies usually associated with distillery-exclusive releases. Your current listing identifies it as a 17 year old Braeval distilled on 26 March 2002 and bottled on 30 May 2019 from a first-fill barrel.

What makes this bottle especially attractive is the way it combines a lesser-seen distillery name with very precise single-cask details. Whiskybase records it as cask number 13913, bottled at 56.4% in 50cl format, with a total outturn of 276 bottles, which gives it a much clearer collector identity than a broader batch release.

Why Choose Braeval 17 Year Old Single Cask Edition Distillery Exclusive 50cl, 56.4%

Braeval 17 Year Old Single Cask Edition Distillery Exclusive 50cl, 56.4% stands out because it is not simply another mature Speyside whisky. It is a distillery-bottled single-cask release from the Distillery Reserve Collection, matured in a first-fill barrel and bottled at cask strength, with a low outturn of 276 bottles. That combination gives it real appeal for buyers who want something specific, limited and less commonly seen than mainstream Speyside releases.

For drinkers, it offers a fruit-led and spice-led style built around apples, pears, toffee, vanilla, ginger and toasted oak. For collectors, it carries added appeal because Braeval official single malts are encountered far less often than releases from more visible Speyside names, and this one comes with the added strength of being both distillery exclusive in style and fully traceable to a single cask. The flavour style is based on reviewed tasting notes, while the collector point is an inference supported by the release format and bottle details.

Ideal For.

This bottle is ideal for collectors who enjoy mature distillery-bottled Speyside single casks with exact production detail and low bottle counts. This is based on the confirmed 17-year age statement, first-fill barrel maturation, cask number 13913 and 276-bottle outturn.

It is ideal for whisky drinkers who enjoy orchard fruit, toffee, vanilla, ginger, white pepper and toasted oak in a cask-strength Speyside profile. This is based on reviewed tasting notes for this exact release.

It is also ideal for gifting or for adding a less common official Braeval bottling to a serious whisky shelf. This is an inference based on the distillery-bottled status, Distillery Reserve Collection identity and limited outturn.

Collector’s Note

This bottle has strong collector appeal because it combines several features that serious buyers usually value: a mature age statement, distillery-bottled status, single-cask precision, distillery-exclusive positioning and a low outturn of 276 bottles. That gives it a more individual identity than most broader Speyside releases and makes it especially attractive for buyers who like less common distillery names in official form.

It is also attractive because Braeval is not a distillery most drinkers see regularly as official single malt. That means a bottling like this feels distinctive not only because of its numbers, but because it offers a rarer chance to explore the distillery through a clearly documented single cask rather than through blends or more anonymous independent releases. The first part is supported by the distillery-bottled release details, while the broader significance is an inference.
