16 YO
Single Malt Whisky / 47% ABV / 700ml
Bladnoch 16 Year Old offers hints of wood spices, rich raisins, sultanas and orange peel on the nose, with a palate of raisins, dried fruits and rich fruit cake with sweet cinnamon and chocolate.
The 16-year-old whisky has been expertly handcrafted by Bladnoch master distiller Dr Nick Savage and his team, drawing on the treasure chest of casks maturing in the distillery’s 208-year-old bluestone warehouses in the Lowland whisky region of Scotland.
About the Brand
Bladnoch’s rich history dates back to 1817, when John and Thomas McClelland were first granted a licence to distill whisky on their Bladnoch farm in Scotland’s Lowlands. For nearly a century, successive generations of McClelland family grew and modernised the distillery. At its peak, the site had six washbacks and annual production of approximately 230,000 litres of alcohol, which cemented its status as the “Queen of the Lowlands”. In 2015 Australian entrepreneur, David Prior acquired the company and began an extensive refurbishment of the distillery. In 2017 after 2 years of renovations under the direction of Master Distiller, Ian MacMillan, Bladnoch Distillery resumed production. In 2020, Bladnoch celebrates its 203 year anniversary, making it one of the oldest and one of the largest privately owned scotch whisky distilleries still in operation.
