Bladnoch Vinaya – The Bold Collection (2025) (70cl, 43.4%)

Bladnoch Vinaya is a Lowland single malt from the 2025 Bold Collection, bottled at 43.4% ABV in a 70cl bottle. It is made with locally sourced ingredients and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, which shape a sweet, fresh style. The nose is markedly herbal and floral, with wildflowers and a hint of fruit sweets. On the palate come green apple and milk chocolate, with a touch of white pepper that carries into the aftertaste.
