Description
Some whiskies demand you pause before you pour, and this is one of them. Distilled in 1990 and drawn from a single Pedro Ximénez Butt, this release from Bladnoch’s Samhla Collection is as rare as Scotch whisky gets, with just 50 bottles available in the world.
The 1990 vintage carries a personal significance for Bladnoch, marking the start of distillery owner, David Prior’s, journey into restoring this remarkable whisky distillery. This bottling, then, is a quiet tribute to the vision and perseverance that brought Bladnoch back to life.
Bottled at 47.6% abv, the nose is full of rich liquorice, dried apricot, and dark dates, while the palate brings forth roasted almonds and a subtle whisper of clove. The finish is long and viscous, with a gentle peppery warmth that lingers.
