“Offering bottles of the oldest scotch whisky at auction is truly a once in a lifetime occurrence.

Distilled in the 1830s, the whisky was made during a fascinating period when whisky production was experiencing massive change following the 1823 Excise Act, making it a particularly exciting find for those interested in the history and heritage of the Scotch whisky industry.”

The Discovery at Blair Castle

The hereditary home to the Duke of Atholl, Blair Castle is a historic castle and estate in Perthshire, Scotland, that dates back to the 13th century.

In late 2022, approximately 40 bottles of whisky were discovered in an unassuming cellar room of the Castle alongside a shelf plaque which stated the whisky was distilled in 1833. Following the discovery, research was conducted in the archives of Blair Castle and Atholl Estates, alongside third-party authentication via carbon dating, both of which support its early 19th century origin.
