Pittyvaich 1977 Single Cask #12449 Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

Speyside's Pittyvaich distillery opened in 1975 and only operated for a short period before it closed, and was finally demolished a decade later in 2003. It's always exciting to see surviving bottlings, and this 1977 vintage single malt joins the collection from indie bottler Cadenhead's, bottled in the 1990s at 55.8% ABV for its Cask Strength collection.

Distillery Information

The Pittyvaich whisky distillery was established in 1975 by Arthur Bell and Sons. It was sited very close to the Dufftown distillery and shared with it not only a place in the Bells blend but also the water source, the springs at Bailliemore and Convalleys. Pittyvaich lay in the Dullan Glen in Banffshire before being demolished in 2003, having been closed for a decade. The distillery was the last to be built in Dufftown and was near the Mortlach Parish Church. The renowned gin brand Gordon’s had, for some time, distilled at Cameronbridge in Fife before transporting the spirit to London for further distillation in the Gordon’s pot still. They experimented during 2004 with gin distillation at Pittyvaich; the results were quite favourable and proved that successful gin production can take place anywhere.
