Bladnoch Renames Single Malt Whisky Range
The Scottish distillery Bladnoch has renamed its whisky ranges and introduced two new single malts to its Heritage Collection. Replacing its 11-year-old and 14-year-old whiskies, it added two new age-stated offerings – a 13-year-old and a 16-year-old.
The new releases will complement the distillery’s existing aged expressions, Bladnoch 19-year-old and 30-year-old. Inspired by the distillery’s 207-year heritage and whisky-making history, Bladnoch’s maturing stocks will be available everywhere.
Bottled at 46.7% ABV, the 13-year-old single malt offers an impressive flavor. With delicate florals, honey, refreshing citrus, and hints of wood spice on the nose. On the palate of floral Parma Violets, fresh cut apples, and apples with hints of wood spice on the palate.

In addition to its rich, fruity nose, this 16-year-old Bladnoch is matured in oloroso sherry casks, and bottled at 46.7% ABV. The palate is noted for raisins, dried fruits, and rich fruit cake, as well as spice and chocolate.
Among the changes to Bladnoch’s core range, which stem from the distillery’s continued growth since it was purchased by Australian businessman, David Prior, in 2015, the Classic Collection has been renamed the Twinned Cask Collection.
According to a press note, the Twinned Cask Collection includes Vinaya, Liora, Samsara, and Alinta. Spirits renowned as the distillery’s four non-age-statement whiskies. This collection was renamed to reflect the two cask types that are married during the whisky-making process. They will remain unchanged.
Master distiller Dr Nick Savage commented: “The introduction of the Heritage Collection and the Twinned Cask Collection is an evolution of our core portfolio of Lowland single malts, and I’m proud to unveil our latest age-statement whiskies as part of this work.
“This is an exciting milestone in our brand development which reflects Bladnoch’s unwavering commitment to excellence, ensuring that we can continue to share our maturing whisky stocks with our fans around the world as the distillery grows and develops.”
