This sample from @LeeEvolved was one of many Christmas treats that I am slowly transcribing from my note book. The initial nose on this one was a phenomenal cornucopia of tropical fruits: papaya, guava, pineapple, mango. It wasn’t quite as dramatic after some time in the glass, but that first blast was perhaps the fruitiest whisky I’ve encountered. The taste is quite different, however, creamy and malty upfront and then long and peppery on the finish, with lingering hints of freshly baked bread and black tea. Fruit, dairy, bread, tea - skip the granola and pour yourself a Braeval breakfast.
