Distillery profile:
Blair Athol is one of the oldest distilleries in
Scotland, founded in 1798 by John Stewart and Robert
Robertson near the picturesque little town of Pitlochry.
The young Blair Athol distillery was closed not
long afterwards, however - until it was revived
again by John Robertson in 1825/'26. It ran continuously
for a decade after that.... More
