Bladnoch 8 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Bladnoch 8 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Bladnoch 8 Year Old is a Lowland single malt from Scotland’s southernmost distillery, matured in American oak red wine casks selected by Master Distiller Nick Savage. The red wine cask finishing brings a fruit-forward character — strawberry jam, vanilla, and rounded tannin — that is distinctive within the Lowland style.
Bladnoch distillery in Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway, has operated since 1817 and is the most southerly whisky distillery in Scotland. At 46.6% ABV (93.2 proof) the 8-year is bottled at meaningful strength, preserving the natural character without chill filtration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Bladnoch different from other Lowland single malts?
The red wine cask maturation produces a fruit-forward character — strawberry jam and rounded tannin — that sets it apart from the typically lighter, grain-forward Lowland style. The 46.6% ABV also gives it more presence than most Lowland expressions.
Is Bladnoch a well-known distillery?
Bladnoch is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries (est. 1817) and its southernmost. It has changed ownership several times over the years; the current era under Australian owner David Prior has focused on building a premium single malt identity for the distillery.
