The Bladnoch Samsara Celebrating 200 Years is a tribute to the rich legacy of the Bladnoch Distillery, which has been producing exceptional whiskies since 1817. Bottled in 2017, this expression is created by blending Bladnoch single malts matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks and first-fill ex-Californian Red Wine casks, crafted using American Oak. The result is a rich and smooth whisky with a unique winey palate. The name "Samsara," meaning 'rebirth,' signifies the distillery’s revival after it was purchased by Australian entrepreneur David Prior in 2015. The scenic Lowland distillery, which had been silent since 2009, underwent significant modernization and now uses pristine water from the River Bladnoch and locally grown barley. Bladnoch Samsara is non-chill filtered, naturally colored, and composed of well-aged Bladnoch malts, offering a full-bodied and fragrant experience.
Bladnoch Samsara stands out due to its maturation in a combination of first-fill ex-Bourbon casks and first-fill ex-Californian Red Wine casks, both made from American Oak, which imparts a rich and smooth winey palate.
