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.
Nose: Fresh fruits, apples and candied oranges builds alongside distillery aromas. Zingy fruit with a background of sultanas and grapes.
Palate: The apples are back combined with hints of yeast. There's a background of spice along with fruity touches – pineapple juice drunk from the tin, a further helping of apples and a touch of mango.
Finish: Mint and orange zest with a touch of yeastiness.
Jim Murray has scored this Pittyvaich 28 Year Old Diageo Special Release 2018 Whisky 86.5/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible,
'The nose is an attractive bend of malt and hazelnut. The delivery is sweet, gristy and promising’.
