Bottled at a robust 57.7% cask strength from an individual cask yielding only 286 bottles, it offers enthusiasts a naturally presented and distinctly individual expression outside the distillery's more familiar official releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlair Athol is one of the Highlands' long-established distilleries, with roots in Pitlochry dating to the late 18th century. Much of its production has historically played an important role in blended Scotch, while independently bottled single casks provide a less common opportunity to explore its rich, malty Highland character in a more individual form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArchive Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product images carefully.
