Description
A contender for shortest-lived Speyside distillery, Pittyvaich was opened by Arthur Bell & Sons in 1975 and operational only until 1993. The distillery was intended to increase provision for the company's blends but its acquisition by Guinness in 1985 eventually saw it deemed surplus to requirements. Connoisseurs Choice is one of the most easily recognised ranges from the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail, launched by George Urquhart back in the 1960s.
