Diageo, the world's largest spirits company, as well as the planet's largest distiller of Scotch whisky, has been releasing each year, since 2001, a selection of 10 special releases from its hallowed whisky vaults.
The latest 2018 releases consist of bottlings from stocks of now closed distilleries, and special new expressions from their existing lineup of single malts, which features both extra young and extra old age statements, whiskies bottled at cask strength or whiskies not previously available as single malts.
A third entry in the Diageo Special Releases for Pittyvaich - very rare to see as the distillery was closed in 1993 and very few casks have made it out into the wild.
Fortunately for us, Diageo have released another 1989-vintage edition in the Special Releases, giving us the chance to try the distillery's style.
Matured in refill American-oak hogshead, the gentle wood influence has revealed a core of fruity spirit.
