Blair Athol 8 Year Old 1970s House of Bells - 70 Proof 26 2/3 FL OZS

Introducing a bottling of 8 Year Old Blair Atholl, an excellent Highland Scotch dram bottled in 1970's.

This fairly old Blair Athol bottling bears striking similarities in terms of tasting notes to the current 12 Year old.

Today, Blair Athol is the spiritual home of Bell's whisky with only 5% of the whisky produced at the distillery retained as single malt with the rest being incorporated into the UK’s most popular blended whisky.

Blair Athol Distillery is located at the gateway to the Scottish Highlands in the picturesque town of Pitlochry in Perthshire.

It is one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland. Founded in 1798 by John Steward and Robert Robertson, it was originally named 'Aldour', after the Allt Dour burn the distillery draws it water from.
