Discover the Latest from Scotland’s Oldest Privately-Owned Distillery

Written by May 15, 2025The Shout

Bladnoch, the historic Lowland distillery now proudly Australian-owned, is turning up the heat in the whisky world with the launch of two exceptional aged single malts: the Bladnoch 8 Year Old and 16 Year Old.

Crafted with innovation and tradition, Bladnoch 8 Year Old is a rich and vibrant expression matured in two types of American oak red wine casks. Bottled at a bold 46.7% ABV and natural in colour, it offers a fresh and fruity nose of strawberries and herbal pinecones, followed by layers of strawberry jam, polished oak, and nutmeg on the palate. Expect a warm, lingering finish that’s smooth and satisfyingly sweet.

Joining it is the Bladnoch 16 Year Old, a refined single malt matured exclusively in oloroso sherry casks. Also bottled at 46.7% ABV, this indulgent whisky opens with aromas of rich raisins, sultanas, and orange peel. On the palate, it delivers deep flavours of dried fruits, fruit cake, sweet cinnamon, and a touch of dark chocolate.

Both expressions are masterfully crafted by renowned Master Distiller Dr Nick Savage, drawing from Bladnoch’s 208-year-old heritage and centuries-old bluestone warehouses in Scotland. These whiskies are not just a testament to the distillery’s legacy, but also to its exciting future under the leadership of Australian entrepreneur David Prior.

Whether you’re a whisky collector or just discovering the world of single malts, Bladnoch’s new aged releases are a must-try addition to your collection.

Experience the taste of true craftsmanship. Available now in Australia.
