Finn Thomson - Pitilie 2015 - 10 Year Old

Pitilie (Aberfeldy)

"This is apple juice for adults and a wonderfully fun example of the joys that cask
finishing can bring."

The natural apple character of the Aberfeldy spirit provided an idea for re-racking that would
emphasise those already present orchard fruit notes. A Calvados cask - elevating the apple notes to new levels.

Less than two miles away from where my ancestors were producing whisky at Grandtully Distillery, the Pitilie Distillery, on the outskirts of Aberfeldy, was using water from the very same hillside to create their own style of malt as long ago as 1825.

The late 1800s saw the eventual closure of both Grandtully and Pitilie distilleries - the liquid being lost to time but the stories living on. With my own family’s roots so ingrained in the Perthshire region, it is always special for me to bottle a cask produced from one of the wonderful distilleries in the area.

Famed for its fruity and sweet spirit, Aberfeldy distillery produces the modern day ‘Pitilie’ single malt in tribute to the eponymous burn that is the water source for the distillery.
