THE BRAEVAL DISTILLERY
Among the hills of Banffshire in Speyside, along winding single track roads, lies a distillery more remote than most. One of the highest distilleries in Speyside, Braeval sits at 356m above sea level. Crafted among these peaks, away from the well-trodden path, this distillery is operated by a Lone Distiller. Made with the purest water from the Preenie well, two miles deep in the Braes hill. The unique, incredibly tall stills of Braeval, capture only the most delicate flavours, giving this liquid its distinctive notes of tropical fruits.
