Pittyvaich, 30 Year Old, Speyside, Prima & Ultima, 2023 Release,

Despite closing in 1993, Dr Emma Walker’s predecessor Dr Jim Beveridge continued to conduct research at Pittyvaich for some time. To honour Jim and his experimental nature, This whisky has been experimentally aged in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso seasoned butts for richness of flavour. This is in more than one way the ultimate example of the rich depths of colour, aroma and sweet, spicy flavour of which this little-known malt is capable. These are the last ever PX/Oloroso butts from 1992 and there is no younger liquid remaining; as the distillery closed the following year, it is the last 30-year-old we can ever release.
