Pittyvaich 25 Year Old 1989 (Special Release 2015)
One of a group of distilleries to feature in the 2015 Special Releases that's rarely seen, in this case because it was only open from 1974 to 1993. Matured in refill American oak hogsheads and ex-bourbon barrels, this is a release of 5,922 individually numbered bottles.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Syrupy, hints of playdough that open up to reveal fragrant cereal and violet petals. Creamy and peppery but also slightly sharp.
Palate
Again there's this fragrant interplay with fruit skins, florals and malt, becoming thick and almost soapy at the end.
Finish
Light oak notes, Madeira wine, white and dark chocolate.
Overall
An interesting whisky from a closed distillery that shows moments of brilliance, still recognisable to those familiar with the Flora and Fauna bottling.
