Pittyvaich was one of the newest and most short lived distilleries in Scotland, only operating from 1974 until 1993. The distillery was demolished in 2002. 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. There were experiments during 2004 with gin distillation at Pittyvaich; the results were quite favourable and proved that successful gin production can take place anywhere. When Pittyvaich produced whisky, the distillery had two sets of stills for whisky distillation, all being exact replicas of those at neighbouring distillery, Dufftown. The resultant spirit was matured in both bourbon and sherry casks. Although most Pittyvaich malt whisky was used in blends, there have been both independent and official releases over the years.
To find this cache: You are looking for a small click box near the previous Pittyvaich Distillery, close to something which was used within the industrial site. Look for some barriers.
Due to the kind request from some other cachers to have another box in Dufftown near a distillery, off the tourist crowds and which is providing enough space to leave some smaller TBs and Coins, I have changed the original container to a small click box.
Congratulation to Alo Fox and Scoobydoopoo for beeing the FTF here ;-)
