Pittyvaich 25 Year Old

Details

General Information

Nose –Flowers and nuts off the bat honeysuckle, rose, hazelnuts and almonds. Sweetness develops, with the almonds gaining a sugary shell, a sprinkling of icing sugar and a balancing squeeze of lemon. Polished tables, with a hint of beeswax, sit behind the sweetness along with sweet white grape juice.

Palate –Sharp and spicy to start, with little of the nose’s sweet and floral character. However, with some time in the glass and a drop of water, the freshly sawn oak and sappy twigs soften to reveal sweet and zesty apples and spice cinnamon and nutmeg.

Finish –Spiced apple and its skin, slowly fading to liquorice and black pepper.

Comments –An inviting and fruity nose leads to a spicy body that shows the whisky’s age. A drop of water is essential, despite its relatively low cask strength, and reveals layers of fruit and spice.
