Amber Room ReviewIndependent tasting notes
My first Braeval and it’s slightly disappointing for a 36yo dram as there’s not as much oomph or complexity as I would expect, considering the almost £500 at retail, I would not say that it is worth the price

Fresh fruits, nutty, leaning towards almonds, slightly grape-y
Punchy body, a distinctive fruity taste, grapefruits, blood oranges, quite sweet
Slightly dry, medium finish

Whiskyfun finds coastal smoke, passion fruit, mango and camphor on the nose. The palate combines fir, verbena, pink pepper and gentle peat; water reveals some assertive oak. The finish brings pepper, lemon, wax and samphire. Serge praised this unusual Braeval and awarded it 90 points.
