Bladnoch 8 Years Old American Oak & Red Wine Cask (46.7%) is an exceptional, beautifully balanced single malt Scotch whisky that showcases the vibrant, contemporary style of the historic Lowland distillery. Matured for a full eight years in a meticulous combination of first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks and premium red wine casks, this expression offers an intriguing depth of flavor while maintaining Bladnoch’s signature crisp and grassy character. Bottled at a precise 46.7% without chill-filtration or added coloring, it delivers a rich, oily texture and a sophisticated interplay between sweet vanilla oak and deep, fruity wine influences.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Bright amber with a distinct copper-red hue

• Nose: Rich and sweetly aromatic, opening with notes of red berries, dark plums, and crisp red apples, beautifully balanced by creamy vanilla, toffee, and a gentle hint of toasted oak and cut grass

• Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, delivering a wave of sweet summer pudding fruits, cherries, and honey, which transitions into warming baking spices (cinnamon and nutmeg), milk chocolate, and a soft, dry oak structure

• Finish: Medium to long, clean, and pleasantly dry, leaving lingering traces of spicy red wine tannins, sweet vanilla, and a touch of peppery warmth
