Braeval - 1991/2013 - The Whisky Mercenary (47,7%)
Tasted this at our latest 21drams gathering.
The bourbon influence is very prominent at first scent, but with the age shining trough (that dusty thing). Not something I often get the chance to nose. Strawberry custard, some apple compote, after a while turning into candied fruits: canned ananas and candy fruit bears.
On the palate, fruity, but quickly more spices appearing, and a soft nutiness, leading to a rather complex and long finish with some cinnamon, and dried herbs. Rather tasty actually.
