Samsara Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Lowlands, Bladnoch Distillery, 700 ml
| Producer: | Bladnoch Distillery |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Lowlands |
Description
Samsara, which means «rebirth», is a full-bodied single malt Scotch from the Bladnoch distillery in Lowland, which is matured in ex-bourbon and Californian red wine casks. This special combination of casks gives the whisky its unique flavour and aroma profile. On the nose, Samsara presents itself with notes reminiscent of red apples, vanilla and dried fruit, supported by floral and slightly spicy-citrus notes. On the palate, it delights with a pleasant creaminess, with notes of vanilla and dried fruit. Rich and enveloping the mouth in a spicy and warm flavour, this whisky lingers for a long time and makes every sip a special pleasure.

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.
