Diageo unveils 2020 Special Releases Whisky Collection

Diageo unveils 2020 Special Releases Whisky Collection

28 Aug 2020

The 2020 collection, curated by Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson, includes eight cask strength single malt Scotch whiskies drawn from some of Scotland’s most interesting distilleries.

For those curious to discover the very last drops from unique casks or to explore a taste of history, the collection includes:

  • Pittyvaich, from the Speyside ghost distillery, finished in first fill ex-bourbon casks.
  • A rare Highland expression of Dalwhinnie matured in refill hogshead casks filled in 1989.
  • The best of Isle of Skye, Talisker, our foremost finished in pot-still Caribbean rum casks.
  • The stalwart Lagavulin, a perfect expression of this Islay distillery’s character.

“I’ve created this year’s Special Releases Collection, from some of my favorite distilleries across Scotland, with whisky enthusiasts in mind. For those who enjoy spicy flavours, my recommendation would be to try our Cardhu, and for those who favour rich, intense and smooth flavours my choice would be Mortlach 21 year old. If you are curious about discovering something very rare, the Pittyvaich - the single ghost distillery in our Special Releases Collection this year is an unforgettable dram.”
