A bottle of Blair Athol 8 Year Old Highland Malt Scotch Whisky From The House Of Bell's, distilled and bottled by Arthur Bell & Sons Ltd. We estimate this was bottled in the early 1970s.
This lot comes from a large collection built up during the 1970s in Kent, England. For 50 years the owner displayed the collection in the family’s home bar, with later additions being gifted to the collector by friends and family. Then in 2021 the collection was dismantled to be sold at auction. Many of the bottles have stickers that show the original price paid and the date (month/year) of purchase.
This Blair Athol 8 Year Old sold at our online auction for £130
