Blair Athol 12 year old

Flora & Fauna

This 12-year-old aged in Sherry casks is the only official bottling from the distillery, apart from a fleeting 8-year-old released by the Bell’s group in the 1980s. It's a whisky with broad shoulders, a strong character, marked by malt, dried fruits, caramel, and Sherry.
A must-have for Scotch whisky connoisseurs, the so-called "Flora & Fauna" range is little known to the general public. Launched in the 1990s by United Distillers & Vintners, this series was originally intended to showcase distilleries that did not bottle under their own name. There were also non-reduced versions until the 2000s. The complete collection comprises 26 references, released over time, some of which are now discontinued and have become true collectors' items. The paternity of the name "Flora & Fauna" in reference to the animals and plants depicted on the various labels is attributed to the whisky writer and critic Michael Jackson.

The Distillery

Built in Pitlochry in 1798, this East Highland distillery was first named after Aldour, the spring which supplied its water. It was extended in 1825 and took the name of Blair Athol. Its production capacity was doubled in the 1970s to cater to the “Bell's” brand of blended whisky, of which Blair Athol is the backbone and which was then the most widely drunk whisky in Britain. It is located not far from the small distillery at Edradour and is visible from the windows of the carriages of the famous Highland Railway Line.
