Description

Pittyvach was a utilitarian-looking distillery which was built purely for commercial purposes and was Arthur Bell & Sons' response to the sudden leap in the brand's fortunes in the 1970s when it became Britain's top-selling blend. The firm already ran the Dufftown distillery and so in 1975, erected a shed next door and installed two (eventually four) stills inside. By the end of 1980's Pittyvaich. This exceptional and rare expression embodies the legacy of the Pittyvaich distillery. Matured in two Pedro Ximénez/Oloroso butts, this whisky offers a rich and nuanced character. This release marks the final Pittyvaich 30 year old, commemorating the last casks filled before the distillery closed. With only 609 bottles made, it is a highly prized item for collectors and whisky enthusiasts.

Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
A mellow, drying nose with no real prickle. Notes of red fruits such as redcurrants, cherries, and raspberry jam, complemented by ripe banana and a dry trace of wine. A hint of chocolate emerges at reduced strength.
Palate
Soft, creamy-smooth texture with a lightly sweet taste and sherried fruitiness. Mid-palate reveals a pinch of salt, soon turning tannic, dry, and spicily warming. Water increases the spice while thinning the taste.
Finish
Medium length, fruity with a dry, slightly peppery spicy kick. Similar with water, but the aftertaste becomes more nuanced.
