After 3 days in Edinburgh we are on the road again heading to the central Highlands to see more of that spectacular Scottish scenery and the history. We have many more distilleries, castles and the culture to experience in the next three weeks. We will be heading up to the Pitlochry area where 3 distilleries are located, Aberfeldy, Edradour and Blair Athol. You also have Blair Castle, Castle Menzies, Taymouth Castle and the ruins of Black Castle in this area.
We had originally planned back in Canada to tour the Edradour distillery but the visitor center is shut down for the year. I had got some advice from a fellow Islander who knows whisky distilleries and knows Scotland. He highly recommended touring the Blair Athol distillery in Pitlochry. He convinced me enough that I was immediately researching it and soon after had it booked along with the other tours planned. I had never tried their whisky nor did I no much about the distillery other than it's location. The village of Blair Atholl and Pitlochry kept popping up when I was doing research in the highlands for this channel but the Blair Athol distillery is not located in Blair Atholl. It's located in Pitlochry. Now I did not make a spelling mistake on the two different spellings because one 'L' is the distillery spelling and two 'L' s are the village spelling.
Well what about the whisky? 99% of the Blair Athol spirit goes into blends like "Bells". That leaves 1%
for single malts. The 43% abv "Twelve" is the official Diageo "Flora & Fauna" bottling that is not as easy to get in Canada as over in the UK. There are some higher strength and cask strength bottlings that are special releases from the distillery. I have brought a couple of those samples back to Canada along with the "Twelve". That's enough info; let's get into the video. Enjoy the video. Slàinte Mhath
