- Description
- Pittyvaich's 25-year-old from 1989 captures a fleeting distillery, operational only from 1974 to 1993, matured in refill American oak and ex-bourbon casks. The extended maturation brings oak-driven depth and subtle spice typical of Speyside character. Individually numbered among 5,922 bottles, this represents a rare opportunity to experience an otherwise rarely-seen distillery at its maturity. Best for collectors and those curious about Scotch's closed chapters.
