By modifing the spirit and wash stills they produced a Gordon Gin and experts tested it. They were unable to tell the difference between the "real" Gordons gin and the on produced at Pittyvaich. From the Whisky pilot by Uniqum Systems : The Pittyvaich-Glenlivet was built in 1973 by Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd, about a half kilometre from Dufftown-Glenlivet. It operated in conjunction with it and produced a maltwhisky that after having matured for 8 years were used for blending. It has four stills. Closed in 1993.

Its production was exclusively used in the blends of the Diageo group. Its brief life came to an abrupt end as soon as 1993. It was completely dismantled with no hope of re-opening again. The independent bottler James MacArthur had in the meantime released a 12-year old and a 14-year old in the late 1980's.
