It’s a shame Pittyvaich closed in 1993 and the Special Releases from Diageo are good but overpriced

It’s a shame Pittyvaich closed in 1993 and the Special Releases from Diageo are good but overpriced

Nose

Floral, fruity, grassy, honey, apples, slightly mineral

Body

Citrusy, definitely sweet, slightly waxy, fresh fruits, slightly salty With water the whisky gets saltier but also more enjoyable & balanced instead of just being sweet

Finish

The finish is long, grassy, and dry; with a touch of bitterness (probably from sitting 28 years in an oak cask) but nothing too offputting
