Bladnoch 2024 Single Cask whisky collection includes rare vintage Single Cask release

Bladnoch 2024 Single Cask Collection

Bladnoch Distillery has ushered a new single cask collection into its portfolio of Lowland single malt whiskies. The Bladnoch 2024 Single Cask Collection features six unique single malt whiskies, each hand selected by Dr Nick Savage, Bladnoch’s Master Distiller.

The new single cask range draws upon the spirit reserves laid to rest in the distillery’s 207-year-old bluestone warehouses, located on the edge of the River Bladnoch in the Lowland whisky region of Scotland.

Varying in cask type and rarity, each of the whiskies in the single cask range has been bottled at cask strength and is non-chill filtered with natural colour.
