Blair Athol

The Heart of Bell's, the Gateway to the Highlands

One of Scotland's oldest working distilleries, Blair Athol has survived fires, closures, and years of obscurity. Its Flora & Fauna bottling introduced the single malt to enthusiasts, and recent Diageo Special Releases have showcased its potential for aged, sherried expressions.
