Bladnoch Vinaya is a remarkable single malt whisky from the esteemed Lowlands distillery, first established in 1817. In 2015, the distillery was purchased by Australian entrepreneur David Prior, who invested in its modernization after it had been closed since 2009. The picturesque distillery is known for its grassy and malty whiskies, which undergo a fermentation process of at least 48 hours and are transformed into a 69% new make spirit using locally sourced barley and water from the Bladnoch River.
Vinaya, meaning "respect and gratitude" in Sanskrit, is a tribute to the distillery's original founders and a nod to its exciting future. This exquisite whisky is matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon and first-fill sherry casks, resulting in a harmonious fusion of floral vanilla, chocolate, and sherry spice flavors. The palate offers notes of fresh green apples, milk chocolate, and white pepper, with a light and refreshing finish.
