Discover Blair Athol 

From its Perthshire home at the gateway to the Scottish Highlands, Blair Athol has been making one of the region’s most celebrated single malt whiskies since 1798. It is one of the few distilleries built in the 18th century that still operates in Scotland today. 

Allt Dour burn, a stream which flows down from the heights of Ben Vrackie, lends its waters to the Blair Althol distillery. The pureness of the water, when combined with a process perfected over centuries, gives Blair Athol its unmistakably rich aroma, fruity flavour, and satisfyingly sweet finish.
