Tasting Notes
Nose: Enticing aromas of dried apricot, toffee pudding, and a faint hint of spiced orange, all layered over a gentle bed of oak
Palate: Velvety waves of dark chocolate, treacle, and stewed stone fruits meld with Blair Athol’s classic malty warmth, balanced by subtle nutty nuances
Finish: Long and comforting, revealing traces of sherry-soaked fruit, warming cinnamon, and a final flourish of polished oak

The Distillery
Blair Athol
Blair Athol Distillery, established in 1798 in Pitlochry, ranks among the oldest working malt whisky producers in Scotland, spanning four centuries of whisky craftsmanship. Acquired by Arthur Bell & Sons in 1933, it is celebrated as the spiritual home of Bell’s blended Scotch whisky, offering a distillery visitor centre and tours for an immersive experience. Although most of Blair Athol’s malt whisky is destined for Bell’s blends, dedicated whisky enthusiasts can still savor the distillery’s character through independent bottlings, notably in the Connoisseurs Choice and Signatory Vintage ranges—ensuring Blair Athol’s revered legacy continues to captivate Scotch connoisseurs worldwide.
