Pittyvaich (silent) Flora & Fauna Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
Out of stock
Flora and Fauna, nicknamed by the late whisky writer, Michael Jackson, was a themed series of distillery only single malt whisky releases. Each distillery was given a particular creature as its symbol, which is elegantly displayed on each bottle's beautiful label.
Pittyvaich was a Speyside distillery that operated from 1974 until 1993 and the distillery has now been demolished. This 12 year old is part of the much collected Flora and Fauna range.
A dry and savoury Speyside that was based in Dufftown and was one of the malts that went into Bell's blends.
