Less than two miles away from where Finn Thomson's 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 his own family's roots so ingrained in the Perthshire region, it is always special for him to him to bottle a cask produced from one of the wonderful distilleries in the area. Famed for its fruity and sweet spirit, Aberfeldy distillery produced the modern day 'Pitilie' single malt in tribute to the eponymous burn that is the water source for the distillery.

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