Originating from the historic Bladnoch Distillery in Scotland, the Bladnoch Celebrating 200th Anniversary 17-year-old Single Malt Whisky marks a significant milestone for this storied Lowland distillery. Having been dormant for several years, Bladnoch has been revitalized, bringing new luster to its longstanding whisky-making heritage. Known for producing whiskies with a typically mild and dry profile, the Lowland region offers a unique backdrop for this distinctive release. A limited edition, with only 6,000 bottles produced, this 17-year-old whisky features a 46.7% ABV and comes in a 700ml bottle. The whisky presents a complex array of flavors and aromas, promising an intricate tasting experience from start to finish. Bladnoch has employed an interesting barrel choice, contributing both to its unique character and, for some, a point of contention. Fans and critics alike have noted its complex nose with reserved taffy-orange notes, red fruits, and a light bourbon essence, evolving into a spicy, warm finish with hints of oak and cocoa. While some find it to have a slightly artificial floral sweetness, others describe it as rich with scents of stew pear, sherry cask influence, and vanilla. The palate dances between fruity beginnings of peach and grapes to a more vinous, slightly oily texture with traces of oak and a bittersweet undertone. The finish is medium-length, herbaceous, and astringent, leaving a lingering bittersweet impression. Overall, the Bladnoch Celebrating 200th Anniversary 17yo offers a multi-faceted flavor profile that is as intriguing as it is polarizing, making it a must-try for aficionados and collectors alike.
