Braeval, also known as Braes of Glenlivet, is a modern Speyside distillery founded in 1973 by Chivas Brothers. Pernod acquired Braeval as part Chivas Brothers during the breakup of parent company Seagram Distillers in 2001 and mothballed the distillery the following year, but recommenced production in 2008. Braeval distillery has two wash stills and four spirit stills which give it a capacity of over 4 million litres per year, almost the entirety of which goes into Chivas Brothers blends. 

Braeval’s first ever official bottling - a single cask 16-year-old available only at Chivas distilleries - was released in 2017, over 50 years into the distillery’s lifetime. Chivas bottled two more single casks as Braeval before reverting in 2019 to the Braes of Glenlivet name for a new core range of long-aged Braeval malts in the Secret Speyside Collection. Both the Braeval and Braes of Glenlivet names have been used by independent bottlers for many years.
