Blair Athol Distillery will be in its’ Silent Season from 3rd March-15th May.

Silent Season is an annualised ceasing of production which allows scheduled maintenance to be carried out. During this time, some areas of the tour route may be limited or restricted depending on the work taking place.

Although there may be some restrictions, our guides will still be able to talk guests through the production of our Blair Athol whisky, so tours will be running as normal during this time.
