Pittyvaich 16 years 1977 Cadenhead's Cask Strength - bottled 1994 Authentic Collection
Information
About the producer

Pittyvaich was built in 1975 near Dufftown. The distillery owes its creation to the success of Bell’‘s, which led to the need for additional production to satisfy demand. The market collapsed in the 1980s and Bell’‘s was bought by Guinness in 1985. Guinness was in turn bought by Distillers Company Limited (DCL) the following year to form United Distillers. After Whisky Loch, Pittyvaich lost its vocation, which was to produce volume, and the distillery closed in 1993 before being demolished in 2002.

About the wine

A Pittyvaich 16 year old distilled in 1977 and bottled at cask strength in 1994 by Cadenhead for its Authentic Collection range. Cadenhead was founded in 1842 by George Duncan, who was quickly joined by William Cadenhead who renamed the business after Duncan’’s death in 1858. When Cadenhead in turn passed away in 1904, his nephew Robert Duthie took over and turned the business into the independent bottler it is today. After Duthie, it was managed by one of his employees, Ann Olivier, whose stubborn approach to running the business led to much of the stock having to be sold at auction by Christie’’s (London) in 1972 to feed the kitty and save the business. It was then sold to J. & A. Mitchell and Co, who also owned Springbank, and moved to Campbeltown. Launched in the 1990s, the Authentic Collection marked the end of the previous two decades of bottlings at 46%, instead favouring cask strength releases. It became Cadenhead’’s main range.
