- Description
- Bladnoch's 28-year maturation in refill American oak hogshead has allowed the Lowland distillery's delicate character to develop without overwhelming oak influence. The extended aging has brought soft fruit notes, gentle wood spice, and a creeping complexity that rewards patient tasting. Bottled at cask strength in a severely limited outturn, this represents a singular snapshot of a working Scottish distillery.
