Lowlands, Bladnoch Distillery, 700 ml
| Producer: | Bladnoch Distillery |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Lowlands |
Description
The Bladnoch 13 Years, part of the Heritage Collection, matured exclusively in bourbon casks and reflects the artisan tradition of the oldest distillery in Lowland. On the nose, this single malt Scotch reveals delicate floral notes, honey and refreshing citrus fruits. Flavours of violets, freshly cut apples and a hint of wood spice unfold on the palate. The finish is sweet and refreshing. This natural whisky should be enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to emphasise its elegance and freshness.

Bladnoch Distillery
Founded in 1817, Bladnoch is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries with over 200 years of eventful history and has always been privately owned. It is nestled between lush green meadows in the county of Dumfries & Galloway, making it the most southerly distillery in the country.
„Queen of the lowlands“ The distillery was affectionately known as the „Queen of the lowlands“ and has undergone several changes of ownership. A new era began in 2015 with the takeover by Australian David Prior. His connection to the region and his immense passion for whisky led him to the decision to acquire the historic distillery. The fine single malts, distilled under the hand of Master Distiller Nick Savage, are characterised by a creamy and floral base note. A comparatively low alcohol content, elevated mashing temperatures and particularly slow fermentation emphasise the velvety notes.
Lowlands
Lowlands: Hochprozentig subtil
Gelten die Inseln und das Hochland mit ihren idyllischen Landschaften als Imageträger der Single Malt-Kultur, so sind die dicht besiedelten Lowlands das industrielle Herz Schottlands. Doch auch hier konnte der Niedergang der Whisky-Kultur in den letzten Jahren gestoppt werden. Rund ein halbes Dutzend Destillerien, die sich grösstenteils in den nördlichen Lowlands unweit der Metropolen Glasgow und Edinburgh befinden, sind heute wieder tätig und produzieren mehrheitlich leichte und sehr ausgewogene Brände.
