Pittyvaich-Glenlivet Cadenhead Authentic 20 Year Old 53.2% Single Malt Club Cask 1977

The Pittyvaich 1977 13 Year Old, bottled by Cadenhead’s, is a rare single malt Scotch whisky from the now-defunct Pittyvaich Distillery. Distilled in September 1977 and bottled in March 1991, this expression was matured for 13 years and released at a cask strength of 58.4% ABV.

Specific tasting notes for this bottling are limited due to its rarity. However, Pittyvaich whiskies are often characterized by a light and fruity profile, with notes of fresh orchard fruits, honey, and subtle floral undertones. The cask strength nature of this release suggests a more robust and concentrated flavor experience.

Cadenhead was first established by George Duncan in 1842, at 47 Netherkirkgate in Aberdeen, making it the oldest of Scotland’s independent bottlers. In 1972 J & A. Mitchell took over the business and moved operations from Netherkirkgate to Campbeltown. Nowadays, in addition to the high-end, non-coloured and non-chill-filtered single malts, Cadenhead has tasting rooms and shops in Edinburgh and London.
