Honouring Bladnoch’s traditional style, this malt is brought together using a blend of three different woods – ex Bourbon, ex Sherry and ex Whisky – and finally finished in brand new American Oak.
Crafted without chill filtration to ensure all the flavours, aromas, and texture developed in the maturation process remain, and using only the purest ingredients – water from the River Bladnoch and locally sourced barley.
This release is bottled at natural cask strength and colour, and coarsely filtered. There’s nothing added or removed, so you can enjoy this whisky as you would straight from the cask.
