Bell’s Original is a Scotch whisky whose history dates back to the mid-19th century, when Arthur Bell, a businessman from Perthshire, began his career in whisky blending. Towards the end of the 19th century, he founded the company Arthur Bell & Sons with his sons, which later launched the first blend under the Bell’s brand. Following Arthur Bell’s death, his sons continued to run the business, acquiring the Blair Athol and Inchgower distilleries in the process.

Bell’s Original is currently a product of the Diageo Group and is based on a blend of around 40 different whiskies from renowned distilleries, with a significant proportion of malt from Blair Athol. Other distilleries involved include Caol Ila, Glenkinchie and Inchgower, amongst others, which give Bell’s Original its unique and complex flavour.
