Bladnoch 10 Year Old Cask Strength
The one and only Australian-owned Scotch Distillery Bladnoch launched its first-ever exclusive release—a phenomenal cask strength 10 Year Old just for The Whisky Club.
United KingdomColour Deep Gold
Nose Sweet, soft and quintessentially Lowland. Opens with delicate grassy and floral notes that give way to sweet caramel, vanilla and orange peel with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg
Palate Captivatingly bold with a velvety mouthfeel. Creamy sweet citrus combines with ginger, vanilla, gooseberry and rich barley sugars to deliver a beautifully complex whisky
Finish Clean and crisp with a spicy tangy sweetness that lingers
Food Match With the sweet oaky, vanilla and slightly spicy characteristics, we enjoy this style with smoked ocean trout.
Overview
So far under Prior’s ownership Bladnoch has released several bottlings, with our October 2018 malt making their very first exclusive release. Ian Macmillain selected the absolute best of the best 10 Year Old casks – only the casks that displayed the mature characteristics he would expect, to create this whisky. Distilled in 2007 and matured in 1st fill ex-Bourbon barrels from a range of Bourbon producers, the whisky was bottled without chill filtration, colouration, or dilution, at cask strength, just the way we like it.
The result? A drop of pure Lowland gold: delicate grassy and creamy sweet citrus notes combining with vanilla, ginger, gooseberry and rich barley sugars in mind-bending deliciousness. Finishing clean and crisp with spicy tangy sweetness that lingers, just what you’d expect from a cheeky 58.7% ABV, because this baby’s cask strength.
Enjoy it neat, but remember the beauty of cask strength whisky is being able to also experiment with adding a few drops of water until you find your ultimate sweet spot.
