A lesser-spotted Pittyvaich single malt here, bottled up for Diageo's Special Releases 2019! This expression from the long-closed distillery was aged for 29 years, enjoying a double maturation in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry seasoned bodega casks before being bottled at 51.4% ABV. The overall theme of the Special Released 2019 is 'Rare by Nature', which is why the label features... Sort sort of fowl. Honestly, we're not 100% sure what type of bird that is. This is a release of 4,976 bottles.
Clean, light-medium intensity. wonderful fresh malt, followed by cooked apples, hints of sultanas, light fruit, a little spicy ginger, dried flowers, searching further I find buttered sponge. With water, the flowers are very apparent, more toffee.
Dry, warm and mouth-filling, very smooth, more sultanas on the palate, a little toffee, followed by a hint of black tea. With water, a little more delicate now, more toffee notes.
Long and smooth, quiet complex now with woody notes more apparent, more spicy ginger, baked apple in a puff pastry with a dusting of powdered sugar. With water, it’s still long and complex, but perhaps a little smoother.
It's a capercaille, the turkey like bird
