Pittyvaich (silent)
(PIT-ee-vakh) Pittyvaich was built in Dufftown by Arthur Bell & Sons in 1974, with production starting in 1975 beside the company’s Dufftown distillery. It was created to supply malt whisky for Bell’s blends rather than to build a major single malt identity of its own, which makes its story quite different from many older Speyside names. That blend-led purpose also explains why Pittyvaich remained relatively obscure during its short life, despite being one of the youngest distilleries in Speyside at the time.
