Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper highlights and a warm mahogany glow.
Nose
Dark orchard fruits mingle with sherry-softened sweetness—fig, plum and sultana wafting alongside toasted almond and a touch of cocoa. Aged oak brings gentle spice, with cinnamon and clove, while leather and caramel drift in the background, completing a poised, luxurious aroma.
Palate
Silky and light, this Bladnoch greets the palate with orchard fruits, honeyed vanilla, and gentle malt. A quiet sherry-tinged sweetness adds dried fruit and cocoa, while soft spice and citrus lift the mid-palate. The finish is long, polished, and subtly creamy, with elegant oak tying the experience together.
Finish
Graceful and enduring, the finish coats with delicate malt and vanilla, meshing with soft oak and a whisper of spice. A subtle fruit sweetness lingers, drying to a refined, elegant fade that invites the next sip.
