Pittyvaich distillery was a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Dufftown, Scotland.
Pittyvaich operated between 1974 and 1993.
History
[edit]The Pittyvaich distillery, built in 1974 by Arthur Bell & Sons, was among the youngest Scottish distilleries while it was operating. It stood near the Dufftown Distillery in Dufftown.[1]
Originally built to provide malt whisky for blends, Pittyvaich eventually did release an official bottling in 1991. Prior to the official bottling, a number of independent bottlers (including Signatory Vintage and Cadenhead's) released Pittyvaich as a single malt.[2]
The distillery was demolished in 2002.[3]
