Trying to describe the flavor profile of Bladnoch is challenging because the distillery has really passed through four different eras. There is the single malt years of the 1800s, the production years of the early 1900s, the reform and modernization years at the turn of the millenium, and now the entire place is being retooled and upgraded again during the David Prior era.

The bottles of Bladnoch available now were from the previous era and they tended to be fruitier and medium-bodied examples of Lowland single malt with a strong herbal nose and the tingle of strawberry jam and baking spices on the palate. It will be several years before we see the influence the the newest owner on this historic single malt Whisky.
