With Bell's becoming the UK's top selling blended Scotch a lot of Blair Athol's output went towards this and meant the distillery grew in size during the 70s and 80s and it was at this time that interest in single malt bottlings started to increase and when they began to release their own expressions on to the market. This is a single sherry butt distilled at Blair Athol in August 1995 and matured for 23 years until February 2018.
