Blair athol Distillery

Blair Athol Distillery is located in the picturesque town of Pitlochry, in the Scottish Highlands, on the banks of the Allt Dour Burn. Founded in 1798 by John Stewart and Robert Robertson, Blair Athol is one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland. The distillery is best known as a key component in the famous Bell's blended whisky.

A specific feature of Blair Athol is the use of water from the Allt Dour Burn, which contributes to the whiskies' rich and full flavour profile. Blair Athol whiskies are known for their robust and fruity character, with notes of dried fruits, nuts, and a subtle hint of spices and honey.
