Description
Perth-based Arthur Bell began vatting malt whiskies together to provide greater consistency from 1851, going on to combine malts and grains to create his own blended Scotch. In 1895 the 'Extra Special' trademark was registered, and was first used alongside Bell's name in 1904. This was effectively Bell's first branded blend. By 1970 Bell's was Scotland's leading blended Scotch, and in 1978 it became the best-selling whisky in the UK. Bell's 12 Year Old is a renowned blended Scotch whisky that has gained a reputation for its exceptional quality and smooth taste. This whisky is crafted using a selection of fine malt and grain whiskies from Scotland's finest distilleries, with Blair Athol being a main component. All the whiskies that comprise the blend are matured in oak casks for a richer flavour.
