MM Distillery profile:
The Braeval distillery (formerly known as Braes of Glenlivet) is one of the youngest distilleries in Scotland, built in 1973/'74 by Chivas. When Pernod Ricard bought the distillery in 2001, they wasted no time and promptly mothballed it in 2002, together with Allt A' Bhainne, Benriach, (now revived by Billy Walker & friends), Caperdonich and Glen Keith. Fortunately, Braeval distillery resumed production on July 11, 2008.... More on Malt Madness.		 Braes
