Incredibly this bottling has lived longer than the distillery did. Established in 1975 and closed in 1993 Just 5922 individually numbered bottles available world-wide.
This Pittyvaich is easy to drink at natural strength yet is also a complex, attractive and slender whisky, ideal for after dinner contemplation: well balanced, with a sweet, malty nose and palate, and also a refined oiliness and subtle pungency, with a smooth, aromatic and drying conclusion.
