Pittyvaich 30 Years Old Special Release 2020 | Single Malt Whisky

Pittyvaich 30 Years Old Dufftown Single Malt Whisky 70cl bottle - 50,8% Vol

An excellent example of a Pittyvaich and evidence that the brand is unjustly little known. A true pleasure to smell and taste and excellent for undiluted enjoyment.

This spectacular Pittyvaich is the only one that has ever been post-aged in ex-Bourbon barrels, which have lent a sweet and full-bodied character. Pittyvaich 30 is an extremely rare bottling, only 7056 bottles are available worldwide.

A very special edition of a "ghost" malt from a distillery that has been shut down.

Tasting notes

Color

Bright, clear-gold. Good beading and wide.

Aroma

A potpourri of tropical fruits - pear, papaya, pineapple and banana - unfolding on a green base of essential oil or the dense foliage of tropical forests. Surprisingly, a drop of water only brings out all these aromas even more.

Taste

The texture is undiluted slightly oily and very smooth, fills the entire mouth and becomes slightly drier. The taste is full-bodied, with a creamy vanilla sweetness and a certain fruit acidity to balance it.

Finish

Rather short in the finish, sweet and soft, becoming slightly drier, with a persistent sharp warmth. Even with water still soft and sweet, with a very subtle spiciness at the end.

About the Distillery


The distillery, which had been closed down, was in operation for only 18 years until it fell victim to an industry merger in 1993. Today there is no trace of the buildings themselves.
