The story of Bells Whisky

Bell's takes its name from Arthur Bell, a Perth man who had started vatting malt whiskies together by 1851 and later blended malts with grain whiskies into a blend of his own. The Extra Special trademark was registered in 1895, and his signature became a trademark the following year. Bell's was Scotland's best-selling blended Scotch by 1970 and the best seller in the UK from 1978. Diageo has owned it since 1997.

Bell's Original can draw on up to 40 malt and grain whiskies. Its heart malt is Blair Athol, from Pitlochry in Perthshire, with Dufftown, Glenkinchie and a little Caol Ila from Islay also playing a part. The result is a floral, fruity nose with soft grain and spice, then a sweet, nutty, malty and spicy palate with a hint of peat.

It is a straightforward, full-flavoured blend that works any way you like it. Pour it neat with a splash of water, or build a long drink over ice with soda water or ginger ale, and add a slice of lemon if you want it sharper. The litre bottle suits a well-stocked home bar.
