A 26-year-old Scottish Phoenix.
 
Orphan Barrel Distillery has a special task: find the rarest and most exclusive barrels of Whisky. Their snoopers and sniffers comb through the nooks of warehouses and distilleries, grabbing every liquid treasure and take it to Tullahoma, Tennessee. They bottle the gems and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good. For this bottle, they had to travel to Dufftown in Scotland, where Pittyvaich Distillery operated between 1974 and 1993 (it was demolished in 2002). From those sad ashes rises this 26-year-old Single Malt Scotch.
 
Pittyvaich’s Single Malt was never widely available and never had a chance to become big. Since the distillery was around for only 18 years, this Spirit is extremely rare and sought-after. It also makes it older than its creator. The fruity and vanilla-forward Scotch was rescued and put in sexy bottles that carry the name “Forager’s Keep”. They really had to forage to find this one, and it’s a keeper.

90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
