Bladnoch – 10 Year Old 200th Anniversary (70cl, 46.7%)

Bladnoch – 10 Year Old 200th Anniversary is a whisky from Bladnoch (Lowland). Aged 10 years, bottled at 46.7% ABV, 70cl. Mothballed in 2009, Bladnoch distillery got a stay of execution when it was purchased by Australian yoghurt tycoon David Prior. The distillery (near Wigtown in Dumfries and Galloway) was what you would call “a bit of a fixer upper”; but after extensive renovations, production finally resumed in summer 2017, and three stylishly rebranded expressions were bottled from existing stock. As well as holding the title for most southerly Scottish distillery, Bladnoch is also one of the oldest, and it seems rather poetic that its phoenix-like resurrection takes place during its bicentennial year. This limited edition bottle has delightful floral notes with honey and citrus throughout all leading to an incredible dram. It is also a celebratory bottling as it marks Bladnoch’s 200th anniversary!
