Pittyvaich Distillery

Pittyvaich Distillery was located in the Speyside region, near Dufftown in Moray. Founded in 1974 by Arthur Bell & Sons, the distillery operated for a relatively short time and closed in 1993. Despite its short existence, Pittyvaich has left a lasting impression in the world of whisky.

For Pittyvaich, the focus was on producing light, delicate whiskies intended primarily for use in blends such as Bell's. The distillery used traditional copper pot stills and drew its water from the Dufftown Springs, which contributed to the purity and quality of the whisky.

Pittyvaich whiskies are known for their subtle and refined flavour profiles, with notes of flowers, fruit and a slight spiciness. The whiskies were mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which ensured a smooth and elegant flavour. Today, Pittyvaich single malts are rare and sought after among aficionados, collectors and investors because of their unique character and limited availability. The distillery may be gone, but its heritage lives on in the remaining bottles that offer a glimpse of this special Speyside whisky.

Over decades, Duncan Taylor accumulated an impressive stock of whisky casks from various distilleries in Scotland. This stock included both single malt and single grain whiskies, and some of the casks today are decades old.
