The oldest Special Releases 2020 were the Pittyvaich and this Dalwhinnie 30 Year Old, a 1989 vintage drawn from refill hogsheads, mostly ex-bourbon casks but also ex-sherry. Some of the last remaining drops from this vintage, according to Diageo.

The style of this distillate is slightly peculiar. In 1986 Dalwhinnie switched from worm tubs to shell and tube condensers which create a lighter style. They weren’t entirely happy with the result so they switch back to traditional condensers in 1995 (only to notice the character wasn’t the same as before either).
