Blair Athol 2008 11 Year Old PX Sherry Finish 'The Red Door'
Lot number: 110-06220
Winning bid: £150
Originally called Ardlour after its water source, the distillery we now know as Blair Athol was constructed in 1798 in the picturesque Perthshire town of Pitlochry, making it one of the oldest legal distilleries in Scotland. While it has never been well known as a single malt - the distillery is very much the spiritual home of the Bell's blend - the visitor centre there attracts a mammoth 70,000 tourists every year.
Now owned by Diageo, we occasionally get the chance to try Blair Athol as a single malt in the form of the Flora & Fauna range, Diageo special release, or the odd independent bottling.
