A new 8 year old bottling from a single cask distilled December 2001. Unusually for Bladnoch this a lightly peated release.
If the previous cask was anything to go by this should be fabulous whisky.
John and Thomas McClelland opened Bladnoch malt whisky Distillery in 1817 on the northern bank of the River Bladnoch at Bladnoch Bridge just upstream from Wigtown in south west Scotland. Bladnoch Distillery is a small Scottish Lowlands malt whisky distillery and the most southerly of all Scotland’s working distilleries. Closed in 1993 but back in production again in 2000. Bladnoch Distillery is equipped with just two stills, produces peated and unpeated single malt whiskies and fills just a few hundred casks annually. Visitors welcome in the Bladnoch Distillery visitor centre where distillery tours are available.
The first impression on the nose of this lightly peated whisky is of a slight smokiness and then just a drop of peat coming through on the palate as it mingles subtley with the traditional lowland flavours.
