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.

    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?

    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.

    Great review and thanks for sharing your experience at Glenglassaugh. I recently had a taste of a single cask 9 year aged in a wine cask (not Sauternes) and it drank like a 15 to 20 year whisky. It’s Raspberry jam and enough spice to really get the palate juices going. It was almost £100 but recently went on offer for £75 so I bought a bottle. Rachel Barrie done good although Billy Walker might have had more say on this one?

    Your videos are an excellent source of info. Most likely heading to this Distillery myself in a couple months and this helped me narrow down my options for the Spey region. The family casks are a great option. Any bottles exclusive to the distillery you can’t buy elsewhere? I assume there’s a few family casks on offer. Would you say this is one of the picks to visit in that region? I’ve only a day to drive down from Elgin en route to Edinburgh and just trying to narrow down the seemingly endless options. GF is high on my list being one of the few family run operations still going strong. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Great film. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Glenglassaugh a couple of times and on each occasion hand filled a bottle in the visitor centre. My question is about their core range: the maturing stock of whisky distilled after 2008 should surely allow for an age-stated core release. Do they plan to replace the three NAS expressions anytime soon?
