- Description
- This Bladnoch from June 1980, aged 16 years in a single cask and bottled by First Cask at 40% ABV, represents Scottish Lowland whisky from an era when the distillery was less consistent. From its private collection provenance, this bottle carries the character of its single cask—likely offering orchard fruit, grain sweetness, and subtle oak influence typical of long-matured Lowland spirit. A historical rarity best suited to collectors and those interested in how the distillery evolved.
