The original distillery was named Aldour after the burn which supplied it with process water, but changed its name to Blair Athol (after a village seven miles to the north) in 1825. This could conceivably have been to sweeten the Duke of Athol who owned the land.
The whisky produced in the distillery is used in Bell’s whisky (best selling whisky in the UK) originally produced by Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd and now owned by Diageo.
