About this Chapter 7 Whisky

Blair Athol is one of Diageo's workhorse distilleries. Much of its malt whisky ends up in Bell's blended scotch. It's a beautiful distillery built in 1798 in Pitlochry. It has a nutty character resulting from cloudy worts and short fermentation. Allowing controlled levels of solids to come across in the wash still adds a deep, rich meatloaf character. Blair Athol ages its malts almost exclusively in bourbon casks like this particular one.

This is the third cask of Blair Athol Chapter 7 have bottled in the last 12 months, which shows that it's a popular malt for Chapter 7 fans.
