Cooper’s Choice Braeval 15 Year Old

Cooper’s Choice is the independent bottling range from The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., known for showcasing distinctive single cask whiskies bottled with minimal intervention and strong individuality. This Braeval 15 Year Old was distilled at one of Speyside’s highest-altitude distilleries, a site traditionally associated with producing a light, floral style often destined for blends. Independent bottlings such as this offer a rarer opportunity to experience Braeval as a single malt, where extended maturation and cask strength bottling reveal far greater depth and character than typically seen from the distillery. Bottled at 57% ABV, this release emphasizes freshness, texture, and natural intensity while maintaining classic Speyside elegance.

Palate: Rich and lively, with layers of pear, toffee, malt sweetness, and warming spice balanced by oak and a creamy texture.

Finish: Long and clean, with lingering orchard fruit, gentle pepper, and a refined oak fade.
