The Pittyvaich 30 Years Old Single Malt Special Release 2020 is a rare and exclusive bottling from the ‘ghost distillery’ Pittyvaich, which was founded in 1974 and closed again as early as 1993. This makes the whisky one of the rare distillates that now originate solely from old cask stocks and can no longer be reproduced. Diageo’s Special Release 2020 series brings this unique single malt to market as a limited edition after 30 years of maturation.

Produced in the Speyside region, this exceptional whisky has matured for three decades in a combination of refill American oak hogsheads and first-fill bourbon casks. This cask selection delivers an extraordinary variety of flavours, with sweet, fruity and spicy notes. Bottled at a robust 50.8% ABV, the Pittyvaich 30 is bottled in its natural purity, without chill filtration or the addition of colouring.

The now-closed Pittyvaich distillery has left behind only a handful of bottlings, making this whisky a highly sought-after rarity for collectors and connoisseurs. With its long maturation period and complex cask ageing, it offers a unique tasting experience that bears the hallmark of a distilling art long since past.
