Bladnoch 14 Year Old 2021 Release | Bladnoch
Archive Details
A Sherry-Matured Lowland Single Malt
Released in 2021, this 14 year old Bladnoch is an official distillery bottling matured in Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 46.7% ABV, non-chill filtered and presented at natural colour, it offers a richer interpretation of Lowland single malt while retaining the distillery’s characterful style.
The combination of extended maturation and Oloroso sherry casks brings depth and fruit-led richness to the spirit, making this a particularly appealing release from Bladnoch’s modern era.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Dried fruits, dark berries and warming spice, with layers of polished oak and gentle sweetness.
Palate: Rich and rounded, with sherried fruit, raisins, dark chocolate and spice balanced by the underlying malt.
Finish: Lingering and warming, with dried fruit, oak spice and a softly sweet conclusion.

About the Distillery
Founded in 1817 on the banks of the River Bladnoch, Bladnoch is one of Scotland’s historic Lowland distilleries. Its long and occasionally interrupted history gives modern official releases particular interest, combining the identity of an old Lowland name with the distillery’s contemporary revival.
About the Bottling
The Bladnoch 14 Year Old was created around Oloroso sherry maturation, giving the whisky a notably deeper and more fruit-driven profile than the lighter style traditionally associated with the Lowlands. The 2021 release is bottled at 46.7% ABV without chill filtration and with natural colour.
