An unusual lightly peated lowland whisky. A new 7 year old batch from cask 333. Bottled April 2009. Bladnoch John & Thomas Mc Clelland 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 Scotl&. Bladnoch Distillery is a small Scottish Lowlands malt whisky distillery & 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 & unpeated single malt whiskies & 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 & then just a drop of peat coming through on the palate as it mingles subtley with the traditional lowland flavours.
