Often overlooked, dismissed and underrated, Lowland whiskies are consigned to the shadows. With its massive square bottle, Bladnoch 10 is almost shouting out: 'Look, I'm back!' The nose opens up nicely, combining grainy and floral notes with sour cream, blackberries and fresh citrus. On the palate, the aromatic and semidry arrival gives way to sweet vanilla cream, bitter lemon and grassy hints of coconut. Mild tannins, grapefruit and a touch of roasted bread mark the medium-length finish. A fine summer dram which is far from being a lightweight!

Nose

sweetish, wax, woodruff, honey mead, vanilla
__
in the Blender's Glass still: young fresh and sweetish herbs mmmh
__
slightly artificial sweetness
herbal candies
Now something Maggi comes through and the furniture polish of megabreit wink
floral note in the background
a touch of cucumber water
caramel

Taste

liquid cool honey on the lips
He heats himself up on the tongue
unfolds its herbs and some broth
tingles
oily, wood, some glue
on the palate ripe sweet cereals, citrus warm
the honey sweet dissolves sweetly
becomes too bitter wood with seasoning

Finish

a very long finish
yes there is the crumbly almost dry apple - extremely clear at the very end of the departure
and barrel slightly bitter / gummy

The wood note is so concise that it tastes much older 10 years. wlk 19-7

Nose

86 86

Starts with sour apple and bitter honey. The sour note passes quickly. Then bread dough, malt, vanilla are added. Caramel sweet, beautiful spice (wood? Herbs?).

Taste

86 86

Pleasant start with tidy wood. Hui, directly pretty dry. Grapes, vanilla, honey. The apple from the nose remained in it.
Strong spice mixture with pepper, nutmeg and chervil; along with the woody note palatal. Almonds, milk chocolate. Warm caramel, creme brulee. You can literally chew on the wood. Fine-herb.

Finish

85 85

Medium to long, woody, vanilla sweet, orange peel. Still with bitter herbs, which provide a certain bitterness.

Sweet yeasty, cake with a citrus icing on the nose, a bit of vanilla but also fruits (banana). Sweet on the tongue, cappuccino finish. Those bourbon casks really make a mark here.

Nose

Delicate but deep perfume, intoxicating, very floral, sweet but not too much, the alcohol feels a little too much. After a while the Bourbon comes out, it looks just like a Bourbon, but less cloying and less vanilla. Even after several minutes of oxygenation, the alcohol is still pungent.

Taste

On the palate it is confirmed light and delicate, very smooth, a pleasantly sweet and juicy Bourbon, sugared almond

Finish

Long and sweet finish

My first Bladnoch ever. And not my last. It has character and it's more powerfull than i thought. A perfect dram for a hot summer day.

Nose

Typical nose for a maturation in an ex-bourbon cask: honey, vanilla, grains, fruits (apple, pear, orange). Also gras, herbs and flowers. A drop of water and 15+ minutes in the glas will help to open up.

Taste

Massive arrival. Lots of spices, also ginger, oak wood. Quite sweet, but well balanced by a moderate bitterness (grapefruit?).

Finish

bitter-sweet. In the beginning sweet (honey, orange) and then some bitterness from the oak wood.

Not a great spirit. It reminds me of Jura and Glen Scotia, nothing like the typical grassy profile that Bladnoch used to be known for.
