The mission of the Orphan Bottle Whiskey Company is "to share barrels of rare and delicious whiskey, hidden away and nearly forgotten in the back of rickhouses and distilleries.
Orphan Barrel 26yr Old Foragers Keep Bourbon Whiskey is the fourteenth release and the first single malt Scotch whisky to appear in the collection.
Perhaps the shortest lived of all Speyside distilleries, Pittyvaich—Gaelic for ‘farmstead at the birch wood’— was the innocent victim of industry restructuring. The distillery closed in 1993 through no fault of its whisky and has long since been demolished. Its pleasing single malt has never been widely available, though it has been proven to age well as none younger than 25 years of age remains. Most closed distilleries have produced for decades, even centuries before their closure. Pittyvaich lived for a mere 18 years, making it one of the most rarely seen single malts of all. This rare, limited release Forager’s Keep 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has lived longer than the distillery from which it came. It is the first of its kind for the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co.
Notes: Mellow, medium-bodied. Aromas and flavors of apple, vanilla, orange peel, and wood.
Pairings: Honey ham, caramel, soft cheeses
Serving Suggestions: Neat
Region: Tennesse
Alcohol Content: 48%
