PITTYVAICH 12 YEAR OLD FLORA & FAUNA SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70clPittyvaich was built in 1975 by Arthur Bell & Sons in Dufftown, just a stones throw from The Dufftown Distillery. Most of its output was used in the Bell's blend, but it was also bottled as a single malt for the Flora & Fauna range and more recently in the form of the occasional Diageo Special Release. The distillery was sadly deemed to be surplus to requirements in 1993 and was demolished in 2002, making the liquid even more sought after.
BLAIR ATHOL 11 YEAR OLD DOUGLAS LAING'S PREMIER BARREL HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT One of only 821 bottles released 46% ABV / 70cl Despite being situated in the small town of Pitlochry, Blair Athol distillery is named after another town about seven miles further north. There is some speculation that this was done to ingratiate the distillery with the Duke of Athol who owned the land the distillery was built on. As with so many other distilleries, Blair Athol couldn’t weather the storm of The Great Depression and closed its doors in 1930. During this period of silence the distillery was acquired by Arthur Bell & Sons who reopened it in 1949. Today it still provides the heart of the Bell’s blend.
