Whisky Tour: Bladnoch Distillery
Bladnoch Distillery is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery in south west Scotland. It is one of six remaining Lowland distilleries, located at Bladnoch, near Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway. The distillery is situated on the banks of the River Bladnoch, and is the most southerly whisky distillery in Scotland.
The distillery was founded by John and Thomas McClelland in 1817
Between 1911 and 1937 it was owned by Wm Dunville & Co. Ltd, an Irish company, and on the outbreak of World War II whisky production ceased, but malt continued to be produced until 1949 when the distillery closed until 1957.
Upon re-opening under new ownership whisky production began again and continued under a number of different owners until 1983 when Bell's took over and initiated a programme of modernisation and computerisation. In 1987 the United Distillers Group took over Bell's and continued the modernisation as a result of which the weekly production rose.
A year after it had been closed by United Distillers, the mothballed distillery was discovered by the Armstrong Brothers while on holiday in the area in 1994. After several years spent finding and replacing the old plant and equipment, the distillery reopened for production in late 2000. The first 8-Year-Old Single Malt produced by the Armstrong brothers became available in 2009. The company operating Bladnoch Distillery, Co-Ordinated Development Services, went into administration on 10 March 2014.
The distillery was purchased in July 2015 by Australian entrepreneur David Prior, who had sold his five:Am yoghurt business for £52m in August 2014. Prior is thought to be the first Australian to buy a Scotch whisky distillery.
Bladnoch Distillery resumed production in spring of 2017, with new equipment, including a 5 tonne mash tun, six Douglas Fir wooden washbacks, two 12,500 litre capacity wash stills, two 9,500 litre capacity low wines stills, and a steam boiler that will be fuelled with LPG. In late 2016, Prior officially relaunched Bladnoch, and announced three new expressions, created from aged stocks by master distiller Ian MacMillan: the no age statement Samsara, the 15-year-old Adela and the 25-year-old Talia.
In July 2019, Dr Nick Savage joined Bladnoch Distillery as Master Distiller. Nick has formerly worked for William Grant & Sons and as Master Distiller of The Macallan. Bladnoch Distillery opened its Visitor Centre and Melba Cafe at an official opening ceremony on 11 September 2019.The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay unveiled a commemorative plaque during the ceremony.
Bladnoch Distillery also produces premium blended Scotch Whisky brand, Pure Scot.

GLENDRONACH 15 YEARS OLD REVIVAL HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY REVIEW
It's selling for more than Yen100K in Japan now.
How many bottles were produced? Each bottle is numbered, I received a bottle as a Christmas present so I'm curious - is it a keeper or a drinker?
There was 250 produced. Both a drinker and a keeper if possible. Otherwise always drink it 🥃
I did this tour recently (December 2024) with my wife who is a wheelchair user. They accommodated us and nothing was too much trouble. Donna who conducted the tour had a wealth of knowledge. I cannot recommend this tour/distillery highly enough.
Decent review. Thanks for your effort/expertise 👍
Good whisky, but not worth the price over the 16.
I really am enjoying your videos. The only bottle of have of Bladnoch that I have is the Liora and enjoy it immensely. Your video has encouraged me to explore more of their expressions. Thank you.
Time-line
169.00 bottle at Costco

I found a bottle in Hokkaido recently that is 10 years, pure malt (not blended..?) Koshi-no Shinobu. Note the 'Koshi-no' part. Is it the same as the 10 years Shinobu that doesn't say 'Koshi-no' on the label? What's the difference?
This whiskey now become viral in Indonesia...😅

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 hi sir Which is the best compare macallan thanks 🙏
one of the best
Brave move, I would never by expensive consumables from Ebay. Risk of buying fakes is huge especially for wine and whisky.
Nice review. love Talisker and been meaning to try the 57 north for a while. AFAIK it has been discontinued, but I was able find a bottle in a local shop with a 100 euro price tag... you reckon it's worth the price? cheers.
I thought you said Mutt Lang. I’m thinking, I thought Mutt was quite a bit older than this. I agree with you 100%. A good to great Single Malt Scotch has to be enjoyed in the proper glass. I have a small collection to use when I enjoy a taste from my three favourite bottles.
Post another vid;(
Highly sought after collection
I love this whisky, and I found my 750ml bottle for an amazing price.
best distillery in scotland, a pure pleasure
Love it, very well done, very informative.
Wow, this is fantastic. We are doing a similar thing, but we are from Austria 🇦🇹. Americans are going to be confused… Even more though we are speaking German. Anywho, I love your version, we’ve been to a bunch of those distilleries ourselves and it is very cool to see someone taking a completely different approach. Love it. You have a subscriber from Austria now.
This is one of my favorite peated whiskeys.
Never had their stuff. Might have to try it now
I'd love for you to go to Bruichladdich distillery.
Love Billy Walker.
Love Cardhu. Definitely want to try that distillery bottle.
Hello, what is the difference between this one and the other 23 year old one? The bottle seems fancier but the price is about twice as high for the other one (th-cam.com/video/k0DiibR7RB4/w-d-xo.html)
2024 now it's 1200 😅
Adjust the sound level of that microphone!
👍🌹👍🌹👍
I could quite easily slip into that, price be damned 'lol'
My favorite whiskey, it's a big pleasure to test Bladnoch😋
We want a TALISKER 10 with no chill filtering and no colouring!!!!!!!
❤❤❤
Good whiskey 🥃 yum 😋
Great review and you have convinced me to go visit even though I dont have sea legs and am scared of the ferry trip! @ 17:30 - did I hear Macallan?
Love the info...
Nice review! Subscribed

Is Benriach a well known brand?
I would say it’s more unknown, but definitely gaining more popularity these days
Where are you these days mate? Miss the videos
Appreciate it! Have a new bar opening in 2 weeks, then will be back onto the videos

Thanks for this! I recently got so envious of a couple of people, I work with, when they shared that they went to the Talisker distillery! Now, I'm not so jealous... Although Skye looks beautiful!
Great job thanks
Amazing
I currently have 4 boxes. Two bottles from #4000's Bottle #7887 and one bottle #11000' I believe they made 40,000 bottles in 2007. There was a re-release in 2009 and I think one more in 2013. (Not sure how many bottles in 2009 or 2013). Bottles in the US (legitimate places) are around $1900-3000. Plan on opening bottle #11000's soon, but recently I have been adding to the collection. Good video, appreciate the insight.
The third extremely limited release was in 2011, I have one from the 2007 release Bottle 4981. It remains unopened to this day
