- Description
- Bladnoch's 2009 bourbon cask expression, bottled at a robust 56.9% ABV after 12 years of maturation, demonstrates the Lowland distillery's ability to develop character and depth. The ex-bourbon cask imparts vanilla, caramel, and oak spice while the higher strength amplifies the underlying grain sweetness and grassy minerality. A full, warming texture with a dry, spiced finish justifies the cask strength presentation. Perfect for those who prefer uncompromised, high-proof Lowland whisky.
