Founded in 1798, Blair Athol Distillery is situated in the Perthshire town of Pitlochry and ranks among Scotland's oldest working distilleries. Much of its spirit plays an important role in Bell's Blended Scotch Whisky, while as a single malt it is known for a full-bodied Highland style.
Fed by water from the Allt Dour burn, Blair Athol combines unpeated malt with a relatively short fermentation and cloudy worts to build its nutty character. Short-necked stills contribute weight and a robust malt-forward style. Together, these production methods create a characterful spirit capable of developing considerable depth through maturation.
At Rare Find, we value the complexity this spirit can reveal through carefully selected casks, seeking out expressions where its natural weight and rich, nutty character are given the time and wood to develop into something deeper and distinctly individual.
