SCOTLAND’S southernmost distillery has launched a new whisky to celebrate its 200th anniversary.
Made from just two exceptional casks of whisky distilled in 1988, Bladnoch distillery’s Bicentennial Release is limited to just 200 bottles.
Bladnoch is enjoying an exciting revival in its 200th year, having been bought by Australian entrepreneur David Prior in 2015.
Prior and his team aimed to turn this important piece of Scotch whisky history into a modern day distilling operation with production recommencing last year.
Master distiller, Ian Macmillan, said: “Chestnut gold in colour, our bicentennial release has lovely rich sherry and acacia aromas with notes of dark chocolate, sweet oak and citrus with a long and satisfying finish.
“This is a fantastic whisky to mark this incredible milestone and I’d say it is best enjoyed shared, and savoured, with friends and family.”
The new malt will be available for an RRP of £5000 per bottle.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
