This single cask bottling under the McCrae's brand of a 10-year-old Blair Athol was distilled in 2011, matured in ex-wine casks and was bottled at cask strength in 2021.
Blair Athol is a distillery in Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland, which was founded in 1798 by John Stewart and Robert Robertson under the name Aldour Distillery. It was expanded in 1825 and renamed Blair Athol. Since 1933, the distillery has belonged to Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd, now Diageo, and almost 90% of the whisky produced is used for the Bells Blend.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
