Blair Athol distillery is a single malt whisky distillery in Scotland. It is used in Bell's whisky, and is also normally available in a 12-year-old bottling.[1] The distillery is located on the south edge of Pitlochry in Perthshire, near the River Tummel.[1]

History

The distillery was founded in 1798 by John Steward and Robert Robertson,[2] originally named 'Aldour', after the Allt Dour burn the distillery draws it water from, but closed soonШаблон:When after opening.[3] The distillery opened again and changed ownership to John Robertson in 1825.[2]

It was sold several times in the period after, going from John Robertson to Alexander Conacher & Co., then to John Conacher & Co, which was inherited by Elizabeth Conacher in 1860. It was sold again to Peter Fraser & Co, and again to Peter Mackenzie of P. McKenzie & Co Distillers Limited in 1882.[2][3]

The distillery closed down in 1932. The mothballed distillery was bought by Arthur Bell and Sons, but didn't open again until it was rebuilt in 1949.[2] In 1973 the distillery expanded, adding two further stills to the previous two.[2]
